 * You don’t FTP the database to a folder on your website. You need to actually 
   setup the (blank) database on the website. Your webhost should provide a tool
   for this, such as cPanel or phpMyAdmin.

 * If they don’t have cPanel or phpMyAdmin, check with your host as to how to setup
   a blank database.
