while inputing my details into my phbb forum instalation page i came across three questions im not quite sure what to answer with, the phbb Help page tell me to ask you. so here are my questions.
1.Which database type is mine?
2.what are prefix tables?
3.what should i put for "server port" i though it was 21 looking at my ftp client but im not sure
4. last of all what do i fill the script path box with?

you probably get this all the time but i just dont want to mess this up ive wanted a forum for a long time.
thanks

Hi, Your MSQL is 4.x/5.x and prefix does not really matter in your case you can put anything in the box. like user or forum
