Here's another dummy, I'm a newbie in this stuff.
Installing WordPress is going wel so far, but that database stuff, is difficult to me.
I created a db on my server, but WordPress can't find it.
And I don't have any idea what a db exactly is, or what I can do with it...
So I hope someone can help me!
Hopefully, this link will be helpful: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Step_2:_Create_the_Database_and_a_User
And much more at http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress
Yes read that link. It won't just find the db, you have to tell it where it is in the config file. In addition as it points out in cpanel (assuming you are lucky enough to have it, you first create the db, and then you need to associate a user with that db. So create the user and click on the associate button.
Good luck, but you can do it.
