Well, I installed it and went to do the bridge.. I did all the pre-checks and permission checks and changes. I'm getting an on step 3.

"We're sorry, but we encountered an error during the installation process...

Could not connect to or create the PhotoPost database.

Be sure your user has permissions to CREATE or create a blank table before hitting REFRESH or go back to Step 1 to check your database settings."

Well, the path to the smf dbase is correct. I went into php admin and tried to creat a table within it, as suggested, which I could, but it asked me how many fields to create. I have no idea.

I've read through I don't know how many posts and the recurring answer by Chuck is, "Do you have our permissions set correctly?" Well, I can create databased with no problem. I just installed another program which is the smf database and it went smoothly. Server requires 755 not 777 due to suphp and will convert them to such. Other programs installed on this server said files had to be 777, were converted to 755, and I've had no problems.

Database name is correct. Username is correct, password is correct. I've installed 4 progams in the last 2 weeks and have not had this issue.

What do you need?
