having trouble getting started, database related

[ponch]

Hi, when going to the final install step for pixelpost (admin/install.php) i get this error:

Error: Unknown database 'phpMyAdmin'

What i'd like to know is, does it matter where on my server i create my database? i uploaded the files for pixelpost into a folder called "pixelblo". when i installed the database on my server i had to create a folder for it - which i called "phpMyAdmin".

but nowhere along the line do i recall telling pixelpost where it would find this database. is there a specific folder structure i should use for it? i'm hoping this is what is preventing me from finishing the install!

many thanks,

Ponch

phpMyAdmin is possibly a "reserved" name for the MySQL user interface.
Usually you don't create "folders" for MySql but tables.

You don't have to care about folders in database, but only have to be under the same domain. This "connection" is done by your ISP.

If you go to ~yourdomain.tld/mysqladmin or ~yourdomain.tld/phpmyadmin it should ask you for username and password to access.
If you can see the Admin area of your database, you will see the name of the database and if you are allowed to install another database there.

The name of the database ist the thing you should tell Pixelpost during installation process.
