setting up vBulletin lite - a little help please

[Ted]

Greetings!

I've set up many a cgi script before :), but MySQL and php are foreign to me and I am hoping for a little help.

The instructions for the php (lite) version say:

1) Edit the config.php file to match your MySQL settings.

How do I match MySQL settings? WHAT are MySQL settings?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Your web hosting provider should be able to provider you with these details. You need to know the server name where MySQL is located (usally "localhost" but it might be on a different machine), your database name (if you are not allowed to create your own databases), and the username and password needed to access it.
