hummm... you using UNIX or winblows?

if you are using UNIX, usea mysqladmin to create the database..

mysqladmind -u root -p create

You will be asked for the root password, this is the root of the database not the root user of the UNIX system.

If someone is hosting your site and they have the database already running you may not be able to do this, you may have to ask them to do it for you.

I use phpMyAdmin...

It's like a webpage, where you just enter the stuff for the db, and it creates it. I forgot the link, but just search it on google.
