FluxBB Installation

Please enter the requested information in order to setup your database for FluxBB. You must know all the information asked for before proceeding with the installation. Help with completing this part of the form is set out below.

Database type: FluxBB currently supports MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite. If your database of choice is missing from the drop-down menu below, it means this PHP environment does not have support for that particular database. More information regarding support for particular versions of each database can be found in the FAQ. FluxBB has detected that your MySQL server might support InnoDB. This would be a good choice if you are planning to run a large forum. If you are uncertain, it is recommended to not use InnoDB.
Database server: Enter the address of the database server (example: localhost, mysql1.example.com or 208.77.188.166). You can specify a custom port number if your database doesn't run on the default port (example: localhost:3580). For SQLite support, just enter anything or leave it at 'localhost'.
Database name: Enter the name of the database that FluxBB will be installed into. The database must exist. For SQLite, this is the relative path to the database file. If the SQLite database file does not exist, FluxBB will attempt to create it.
Database username and password: Enter the username and password used for connecting to the selected database. Ignore for SQLite.
Table prefix: Optional - enter a database table prefix. By specifying a table prefix you can run multiple copies of FluxBB in the same database (example: foo_).

All fields labelled (Required) must be completed before this form is submitted.
