MySQL DatabaseTrouble

Hi all, i wanted to start making use of my tripod webspace but im having trouble uploading a .sql file. I have made the database in phpmyadmin using easyphp 1.7 . I now want to upload that onto my tripod space, but i need to know what options to select.

I have provided some screenshots for you to understand what i mean.

Are the two screen linked because one looks like an export and the other seems to be an error (due to permissions) on a database create?

Looking at the error you may be forced into creating the database as wayneaustin96_uk_phpbb ??? depends on your hosting co.

Just noticed that in one screen your database is on localhost which i assume is on your own pc on this you can create and delete databases at will .
Yet on other screen shot it is on lycos and with one database alreadt in place you will not be allowed to create anymore as they only allow one database per account.
So when installing the phpbb forums you will need to use the database you already have. the 3 main items that the installer will look for are....

Database name in this case wayneaustin96_uk_phpbb

Database user

Database password

Along with these will be admin user name and password also admin email address..

Lycos is not the best place for a forum

Due to the large advertising block they have on the right hand side this will effect the forum especially the admin interface.

I do have Demon webspace but they don't support PHP and MySQL.
