I am using easyphp. but easyphp uses muphpadmin for adminstrating the database and it is the database "who" is the problem.

I paste here the tekst fra step 6 in the handbook . but for me it is "volapyk"

Create an empty database. Depending on your host you may use a program like PHPMyAdmin, or your host's control panel.

You can select any name, username, and password for the database (just make sure to remember it!). But to make it even easier when you install CMSMS (step 7-10), you can use the following:

* Database name: cms
* Username: cms_user
* Password: cms_pass
Note: Some hosts only allow you to use one database. Then you will have to use that database (and the username and password that you use to login into your database). If that is the case, you can skip step 6. Only make sure to use a prefix for the tables (step 10 below) that separates the CMSMS tables from other tables that you also may be using in the same database.

Some hosts provide for the creation of the database using the MySQLdatabase function in the host's control panel. Creating the database may have to be done first, then when created, the user name and password are assigned. You may be required to precede the database name and user name with your host assigned user code. This is perfectly okay, but as indicated note everything carefully.
