Problems on phpBB3 and MySQL

[hugo929]

OK, I think here is the proper place to ask such kind of question.
I am trying to install phpBB3 to my website. I chose to use MySQL database.

I read the installation manual and found I have to get the following items ready before install:

•The Database Type - the database you will be using.
•The Database server hostname or DSN - the address of the database server.
•The Database server port - the port of the database server (most of the time this is not needed).
•The Database name - the name of the database on the server.
•The Database username and Database password - the login data to access the database.

I think I have get all ready except DSN. I dont know where to setup a DSN.

Who can help me ?

Thanks for your kindly help

If your MySQL server runs on the same host as the forum then server name should be blank. If it doesn't accept blank value then use "localhost".

It works, thank you Genna.
Now my first forum is running. I still need sometime to finish the configuration.
