Problem with mySQL-database

[newbie99]

I have completed the upload and are trying to setup coppermine with the install-screen.
I fill out all the information here, but I got an errormessage:

"mySQL could not locate a database called 'gallery' please check the value entered for this"

Do I have to create the DB manually or is something else wrong here? Have mySQL 4.1.8 installed.

Tips appreciated! :-)

The database has to already exist, but that is all.  Coppermine creates all the required tables etc within the database, but cannot create the database itself.

So if you already have a database you can use, just point coppermine at that, if not you will have to create one.  How depends on what your hosts have given you to do this, in your cpanel or phpMyAdmin

You also have to create the database user and password AND grant the user access to the database by adding it to the list of users that are permitted to connect to the database.
