Establishing databases is part of your hosting package and how it's done changes depending upon the tools your host has set up to use. It's usually done through your hosting control panel.
The basic steps are:
- Get the name of the MySQL server to use - e.g. mysql1.myhost.com or an ip address.
- Create a login/account on the MySQL server you host has assigned for your use.
- Create a database (using the login/account you created) - this is an unstructured empty db - think of it as just adding the db name to the MySQL server.
- Using the db server, the db login/account you set up, and the db name you set up as the connection string, run the WWF setup script to create the tables and miscellaneous stuff in the db.
The same basic steps are used for establishing either MySQL or MSSQL databases.
EDIT: Remember that you need a windows hosting package for WWF - it won't run on unix.
