 * hello! im seriously new to this thing, but am eager to know more! well nuff for
   the starters…
 * the question is what should i do if cannot create a new database at [http://synthpop.ru/phpMyAdmin/](http://synthpop.ru/phpMyAdmin/),
   i mean when i log in there is no possibily to create a new one, also it is written“
   no priviledges”
 * the sex is that currently my site is alreadt running a database, and it’s a phpnuke
   driven site, so as i get it phpnuke wholelly occupies the existing one, thus 
   i cannot create another one yet and am afraid to ruin the running one by implementing
   wordpress unadvisedly.
 * is it possible to build WP over or i must have another database handy?

 * You can use the same database if you like. That’s why WP has the table prefix
   option. As long as none of the Nuke table beging with WP (and I don’t see why
   they would) you are OK.

 * thanx TechGnome!
    yep, yer right there, i checked and didnt find any clue it 
   begins with wp now. so i think it’s better to backup it first since it’s not 
   fool-proof 🙂
