Installing gallery2 on a hosted linux setup?

[el jt]

According to gallery2's forums (http://gallery.menalto.com/forum/66), a few people have installed gallery2 on similar setups to the one I have on 1and1.com.

I, however, am stuck. For anyone who's done this, I'm stuck on step 5 of the installation process, database setup. Gallery2 has a webpage installation interface, where you enter in all the pertinent info and when it's correct it writes your config.php file (or something of that nature). Which is good, cause I wouldn't be able to do it myself.

But it asks me a bunch of questions about the db that I can't answer. I can't even tell if I'm supposed to create a db, or if the server has one that I'd be accessing. I have no clue. Here are the questions I'm lost on:
DB Hostname:
DB Username:
DB Password:
DB Name:
Table Prefix:
Column Prefix:

Can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me how they did this? I've searched these forums but I didn't see anything similar.

Thanks.

Are you on a Shared or Dedicated Server?

I haven't read the installation instruction or looked at gallery2's forums, but judging from what your saying here, you'll need to create the DB and the Username for the DB. You should be able to accomplish this inside your Plesk Control Panel. Its been a little time since I've used Plesk, but there should be a icon for MySQL in the control panel. In there, you should be able to create the DB and give it a name... Also, create the Username / Password that will be assigned to that DB. I'm sure one of the other guru's on this board will be able to alaborate more on where to find this inside of Plesk.

Your DB Hostname if on a Dedicated Server will be ' localhost ' ( without the ' ). If your on a Shared Server, then you'll have to ask 1and1 where your MySQL database server is hosted at.

Once you have these things, just plug it in and you should be set :)

Hope that helps a little :)
