Critical Error

I'm using No-ip as my dns, mysql for my database and running apache. I want to get a phpbb forum up but I don't know where to find the info required for setup.

Database Configuration

Database Server Hostname / DSN:
Your Database Name:
Database Username:
Database Password:

It's all run on one machine. So it shouldn't be to hard to find.

I know this computers name is "ForgottenSmaurai" and I only log in as root.

Database Configuration

Database Server Hostname / DSN: 127.0.0.1 <--It is your "localhost"
Your Database Name: the name of the DB. This you need to make. Read on mysql.com howto.

Database Username: User with rights to the above DB
Database Password: And users password.

You can find info on mysql at MySQL.com
And if you want, you can manage your mysql database with PhpMyadmin. I think it's even in portage.

You haven't read any documentation, have you? Skim through the installation docs on http://www.mysql.com/ . You will need to set the root password for the mysql server (its different than your unix root user, and you should use a different password for mysql's root). Then create a database (perhaps with the name `phpbb`).

If you aren't worried about security, just give phpbb your mysql root user and password, otherwise make another username (maybe `phpbb` as well) and give it full permission to the database. Everything you need to know is pretty well documented on the mysql website, but if you're dependent on GUIs and you've created a root password, check out http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/ ( emerge -va phpmyadmin ) for adding users and databases.

your phpbb config would be something like this
