I am using the readme to try and apply copermine to my phpbb database but got a bit confused..  :oops: in this section:

Quote// database configuration
define('PHPBB_DB_NAME','phpBB');     // The name of the database used by the board
define('PHPBB_BD_HOST','localhost'); // The name of the database server
define('PHPBB_DB_USERNAME','root');  // The username to use to connect to the    database
define('PHPBB_DB_PASSWORD','');      // The password to use to connect to the database

do i enter the user and pass i use to access the forum or the actual user and pass of the mysql database

you need to enter the database user details, the same as you did when you installed coppermine, but with the bb details.  If you are doing as recommended, and using the same database for both, the details will be the same as for your coppermine database.
It has been a long time now since I did my little bit here, and have done no coding or any other such stuff since. I'm back to being a noob here
