I'm stuck at point 0 of the installation. The instructions say "Download", point browser, follow instructions. I've done the first two steps fine. I point my browser at the index.php file and get the page asking for Database and admin details but I have no idea what to put in there.

Have I missed a step where I am supposed to have created a MySQL database? If so, where are the instructions?

Thanks for any help

hello,
At first you need to create a database.
Install procedure is below,

Database detail -- this to store your information.
In database name field type your database name that you created before , and your root ,password and host name.
Adminstrator detail -- this to backend [ ie, adminpanel] access.
For admin login , enter username and password .

"In database name field type your database name that you created before"

When?? Where does it tell you to create this database?

Thanks!

System Requirements
Codoforum requires PHP 5.4+ and a modern version of MySQL.

The PHP gd extension is required to support avatar uploading.

Codoforum has only been tested on Apache, nginx and lighttpd.

Okay, I got this to work by pointing it at a random MySQL database I have on the same server...
