Setting up a DB

[SQHell]

What is the process of setting up a DB for vb? In the online guide it just says Edit the config.php file but obviously you need a DB before hand. What utilities should I be using?

Some hosts have their permissions setup to allow the install script to setup the database. In cases where the hosts does not allow these permissions, you'll need to ask them how to do this. Most hosts provide a web site management tool such as CPanel or Plesk that contain the tools to set up your database.

Regards, S Not at all. If you have to do it manually it just takes a couple of minutes.
