Hey, I downloaded the newest version of PHPbb (2.0.10) and I think I understand everything, with the notable exception of:

Quote:
2.2: MS Access 2000/XP
Before you install phpBB 2.0, you need to create a Data Source Name. The exact way to do this will depend on your hosting provider; if you are unsure you should check with them before proceeding. In general though, you should create a System DSN which points to the location where you have stored an unzipped copy of the ms_access_primer.mdb file ( ms_access_primer.zip can be found in db/schemas/). The name you give this DSN will be used during installation. Do not proceed until this step is complete!


I am trying to host a webserver and I have Apache, PHP, and MySQL installed and working (as per my tests), however I have no clue what this section is indicating that I should do for pre-install preparation... Can someone break this down to me? from what I understand I have to create some sort of database?

Thank you for the help.

Tony
