$DB['dbname']

database.sql in
sql/ folder. You can use phpMyAdmin to run the file.
Create the tables in the database you specify in $DB['dbname']

- Point your browser to http://www.domain.com/faq (or whatever
you put in
$SETTING['install_url']) to check if everything
is OK.

IMPORTANT: Change your password the first time you login from the 'User'
menu on the left side. You can't change the default username or create
