You then need to go to Goodies > Manage MySQL. Scroll to the bottom of that page and find the bit that says Create a new MySQL database.

Make sure you create a new user and that you also change the hostname to the correct site.

Example: Database name: Habari Hostname: habari.example.com User: habari2 Password: habari12345

If you like you can put a comment on the database so you know what is in there.

Then follow the Install guides as normal.
