can someone help me. i have no idea what to put here. i have yahoo web hosting and i wasnt the one to set this up last time. so what to i put in these boxes?

you have to have an SQL database set up.

I don't think Yahoo hosting supports that.

you could try some alternatives such as byethost, x10hosting, trap17, freehostia and cjb.net (just to name a few)

Go with byethost, i have used it forever and love it. I mainly used it to set up PHPBB forums, so i know they have everything you will need. And as far as that info goes, it will all be in their first email to you, and also on the main page of your user control panel for their hosting.

i switched to bluehost a while back. no need for help anymore
