The most relevant info I found while searching the net was this:

If this is what created the problem, then installing again won't fix it, until they've changed the auto-installer on that server. Or if I can somehow replace that file.
And yes, I have created a database. Granted, after I installed the forum, but I did go through the install after I got the name of the database, username and password.
The only other source of error is that my domain name still isn't active. But I need to get the forum up and running WAY before I redirect the domain name, so I need to bypass that if that's why it's not wokring.
