In cPanel create the database and give it a name, set an authorized username and password for the database. Run install.php for phpBB. Enter the database name, username and password and bingo!

Name it whatever you like*. As long as you tell phpBB the same name, it doesn't matter. :)

* (It's probably better / required for it to only contain alphanumeric characters though... :wink: )

I would make sure you spelled it correctly, though. I'm assuming the above was meant to be gamingforum and not gammingforum.
