Need Help with MySQl

[Meti]

Hey,
I'm trying to install a SMF forum, but it says:
"The installer was unable to access the "smf" database. With some hosts, you have to create the database in your administration panel before SMF can use it. Some also add prefixes - like your username - to your database names."

Do I have to do a new database?
- I have already done one called "smf". But it still says the same things

Can anyone help??


Thanks,
Meti

If you're using cPanel, change the username and database bit too:

cpanelusername_mysqlusername
cpanelusername_mysqldatabase
