I have setup a few forums and still run a few. What you need to figure out is if the server you are hosted on HAS a database that you can use. Then you have to find out what the information is to connect to it, like the database name, location, username password, etc...
Once you have that information entered correctly then you should have no problem. But is cannot connect to a database that is non existent.
