Would be helpful to know what problems you are having and whats going on. A little detail never hurts

I doubt I will be able to help but Im sure others will if they have some more information.

well,
you should use some mysql client to make your life easyer.

check out if they have phpmyadmin, otherwise they probably have some database administration area in the control panel.

Create the database, NOTE DOWN THE DATABASE SERVERNAME.
Create a user/password for the database.
When installing phpnuke just inser the values u used before.
The installer creates the tables for you in the database you selected with the user datails you provided.

If this sounds very complicated i sugest u read a lot of documentation...its a patience process.

check out this one for instance:
http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/

or google for something like "php mysql tutorial"

Cant help much more than this if not a specific problem
