Hey all,

I'm trying to set up the Webhost Quickstart template from TemplatePlazza. I have no experience with Joomla but I finally got it going and to the install section, all the way to the DB configuration screen in the install process, and after putting in what I assume is right, I receive:

Code:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=10' at line 29 SQL=CREATE TABLE `jos_banner` ( `bid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `cid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `type` varchar(30) NOT NULL default 'banner', `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `alias` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `imptotal` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `impmade` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `clicks` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `imageurl` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', `clickurl` varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', `date` datetime default NULL, `showBanner` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', `checked_out` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0', `checked_out_time` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `editor` varchar(50) default NULL, `custombannercode` text, `catid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `description` text NOT NULL, `sticky` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `ordering` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', `publish_up` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `publish_down` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `tags` text NOT NULL, `params` text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`bid`), KEY `viewbanner` (`showBanner`), KEY `idx_banner_catid` (`catid`) ) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=10


I am using Namecheap's Professional Hosting, FYI. I'm not sure if I'm putting something in wrong or what, I have no experience with databases.

Thank you! I'm a combat veteran trying to make a career change, LOL. And I really need this up.

EDIT: Now I'm receiving the following: Could not connect to the database. Connector returned number: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL

Which I actually consider progress.

Well at least now I'm just receiving a "can not connect to mysql."

So that's good. Before it was like I was breaking the installation, now I get an error message INSIDE the Joomla installation, rather than a full page error...

This is the other message I receive when I enter everything in correctly, as I believe the correct way is.
