    make sure your username and database name begins with a prefix if your hosting company is set up like that.

    Contact the developer, or refer to the documentation that came with whatever you're trying to install. If it's a PHP application than you should have MySQL file inside of the folder the app came in. Maybe you forgot to upload it some how, or perhaps this is just a bug you need to report to the dev. There's no simple way of creating database for an application without knowing how the tables are supposed to be structured. You could probably figure it out by taking apart the code, but it wouldn't be worth the headaches.

    Sorry I couldn't be of more use, but there's not much anyone besides the dev or the app support forums could tell ya.
