HELP!!
What is this and what do i need to put there: Database Name
The name of database on the host. The installer will attempt to create the database if not exist
It is not explained in the install guide and i can figure out what its asking for and it keeps giving me an error

Hey Seaman,
Firstly, Where exactly are you trying to install xoops?
Are you trying to install it on your computer. If so have you got MySql installed as well as php.
As for your other questions there is a very handy visual guide that you can download with walks you thru the setup process step by step.
Installation Guide for xoops.
Hope this helps.

All the best Tom.
