DB error after installation

[Dog Cow]

here's my problem:

I'm developing a website on my Mac at home. I have Coppermine 1.3.2 hooked up with phpbb2. It all works fine.

But....

When I go to installl it on my host, I get this DB error: Fatal error :
There was an error while processing a database query

My gallery's here: http://osxempire.com/gallery/

Some more info that may help:
PHP and MySQl on the dev Mac are 4.1.2 and 4.1.9, respectively.
On the hosting, I have PHp 4.3.9 and MySQL 4.0.24

You get that error during the installation process or after a successful installation?  If your gallery is up and running, you need to enable debug mode to get the actual error message, and also review this:

I get it after installation, as my topic title clearly says. thanks for the link

Maybe so, but the text of your post says

There was an error while processing a database query

Leads me to believe it's during the install process, not afterword.  Before I can help I have to verify where the problem lies.

Sorry, didn't realize that...  
How do you verify?
