i need help w/ msql and db

[StuntFactoryX]

im a newbie and i dont understand this. i tried getting a answer on photopost.

im trying to install photopost w/ vb354. the lingo is what im not understanding. my first install on w/ my test site was a nightmare. nothing worked. im not sure what made the differnce but 1 thing that i changed was getting rid of the prefix db name and the new install went perfect.. but my live boards have that prefix and its not an option eliminating the prefix i dont think.

in my vb354 config file my prefix is writen like this 'vb' and when i run the install for photo post they put a default prefix of pp_ for photopost. so i was assuming my vb354 prefix should be vb_ so my question is

'vb' the samething as vb_ or would it be vb or do i need the 'vb'

im sorry i know this isnt a photopost site but i was hoping sombody understood these symbols and steer me in the right direction.
