Also, thought I would add that I didn't get an internal_data folder, so I created the directory, but it has nothing in it.
Extra Info
I tested my mySQL info on Sequel Pro (I'm on mac, I created the database with MAMP), and it connects just fine.

Extra InfoOn what server are you installing XenForo? Your local machine? The db needs to be created on the same server as XenForo.

I installed XenForo onto my web hosts FTP server.
I apologise for my unearthly noobiness, but what do I actually to them? Do I just ask for a mySQL database?
Thanks
XenForo System Requirements
- PHP: 5.2.4+
- MySQL: 5.0+
- PHP extensions: MySQLi, GD (with JPEG support), PCRE, SPL, SimpleXML, DOM, JSON, iconv, ctype
- PHP safe_mode off
like you said Jake,
in the admin panel of your hosting provider you need to create a database.
Once credentials are created, you must fill in the fields for your XenForo works like in your first picture
This test lets you know if the server database is good
The upgrade package excludes that directory. For a new install you should download the full package.
Thank you, I managed to do that, although when I enter the information for my hosts mySQL I get access denied for user "my username" (using password:YES)
I believe another error, is that I haven't set the permissions for data and internal_data, as I have no idea how. I apologize for my "noobiness".
you're not alone! I also think of installing a single versionoh, wow, I feel like the biggest idiot right now xD
