Ack! Cannot Create Admin!

Ok, I'm installing on the servers at http://www.multimania.com. Their servers are running in safe mode so I did use the safe mode package. CHMODed the YaBBSE folder to 777. I ran install.php and it all worked fine until were you need to create an administration account. As I am not upgrading from Y1G (deciding to start fresh this time), I tried creating an admin account. But, when I clicked "proceed" it gave me the following error:

Error: Table 'fhuang_db.yabbse_members' doesn't exist

I dunno what happened during the installation. Attempting to access my forum half works, go see for yourself: http://fhuang.multimania.com/YaBBSE/. As you can see, there's a bunch of errors at the top in red and then an error in the middle where the board index is supposed to be. Anybody know how to help me? Thanks!

Change your Settings.php file manually and then upload it (make sure your database and path settings are correct.

it's possible in the install the db prefix didn't take - so try runnin the install without a db prefix.

I got the same problem, again, on a different server. goto http://starmadacom.com/yabbse/index.php mine isnt in red and it says summit different:

QuoteWarning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in path****/httpdocs/yabbse/Sources/Security.php on line 47

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in path****/httpdocs/yabbse/Sources/Load.php on line 70

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in path****/httpdocs/yabbse/Sources/Subs.php on line 141

I manually edited settings.php, making sure I got the paths right, the MySql paths are all correct, and there isnt a $db_prefix.

Any Ideas?

Right, changing my already blank prefix didnt help me. So I went through the error list and checked on what was on the lines mentioned. And, they all seem to be "($request)" can this be changed to "($include)" or "($require)"?

EDIT--> Well that didnt work, changing the lines to include threw up exactly the same errors. Ill try require, but I dont think that It will do any good. Anyone got any ideas?

EDIT, EDIT--> Nope, as I thought changing to require, same errors. So its not those files, so its somewhere else, anyone got any ideas where the problem lies? This is well, well beyond a joke for me now!  >:(

EDIT, EDIT, ADDITIONAL--> Is no one posting to help me because you are all scared of my avatar? Or is there another YaBB SE community I should be aware of?  ;D

Anyway, I installed in safe mode because the installer said that the server was in safe mode, but according to this the server isnt in safe mode. Was the installer right? or not? Again, Ill ask for help, anyone got any ideas as to my problems?

EDIT, EDIT, ADDITIONAL, EDIT--> Nope it inst in safe mode, ah well. Anyone know how to help with the error reports?

all these are invalid mysql resources.  The most likely causes are incorrect $db_prefix (check your Settings.php) and table-names matching.

I assume you have phpmyadmin? Could you please verify the tables were indeed created correctly?

Yep, the tables are there. And, No, the db_prefix is empty, so It cant match the table name. Huhmmmpf!  ::)
