Hi, I wanted to upload Coppermine on to my site, but I'm having problems with MySQL (mainly because I don't really know what it is ;D).
MySQL Database Name
MySQL Username
MySQL Password
I'm not really sure what to put in those fields. Where do I get my username and password from? Do I have to register somewhere? That's what I'm unclear on, so any help would be well appreciated.
Thanks :)
First you have to create a database at your webhost, if one has not already been assigned to you.
Just create an empty database with whatever database tool your webhost provides, usually phpMyAdmin, giving it a name, and password.
And, that is what you would put into the fields.
Username is usually best left as 'root' unless instructed otherwise by your webhost.

OK, see, I'm like totally lost...
Webhost? I'm making a site off my own domain...umm...yeah, I don't know -_- it wouldn't be the username/password that I use like for ftp?

Your domain is hosted by a webhost unless you are running your own server. Usually your webhost provides you with a bunch of tools to design pages, create a database, etc.

if you have budget webhosting, you may not have mysql. As Dennis suggested: ask your webhost.
