First of all does your host handle php and mysql?
If so you need to go into phpmyadmin and create a database in there.

There are much sites were you can get a free phpBB Forum (with a bit advertisment). Only one dutch forum (which I use) is without advertisment. Check out www.xsbb.nl. Otherwise, google around and you will find plenty of forums. It's only a idea.

Send your host an email asking if they support mysql and if they do could they please create a database for you.

Re: Help! Im trying to install a forum!
Does your host provide cPanel? There's a chance you can type http://www.yourdomainname.com/cpanel/ to find out...
