Installing WP fails first time

I’m trying to install WP to my yahoo server, following the 5 min install guide, its not working. Here is a basic question i need an answer to: what is ‘database name’ (‘DB_NAME’). I perused all the info I could find and still don’t get it, it should be obvious I’m sure.

After I set up the wp-config.php (with maybe the wrong info?), and upload it with all the other files, I get this message:

“wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.

Create a Configuration File”, “WordPress › Error”); } require_once(‘../wp-config.php’); require_once(‘./includes/upgrade.php’); if (isset($_GET[‘step’])) $step = $_GET[‘step’]; else $step = 0; function display_header(){ header( ‘Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8’ ); ?> >
WordPress
‘.__(‘Already Installed’).’

‘.__(‘You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.’).’
‘);} switch($step) { case 0: case 1: // in case people are directly linking to this display_header(); ?>

error) ) wp_die($wpdb->error->get_error_message()); display_header(); // Fill in the data we gathered $weblog_title = stripslashes($_POST[‘weblog_title’]); $admin_email = stripslashes($_POST[‘admin_email’]); $public = (int) $_POST[‘blog_public’]; // check e-mail address if (empty($admin_email)) { // TODO: poka-yoke die(‘

‘.__(“ERROR: you must provide an e-mail address.”).’
‘); } else if (!is_email($admin_email)) { // TODO: poka-yoke die(‘

‘.__(‘ERROR: that isn’t a valid e-mail address. E-mail addresses look like: username@example.com’).’
‘); } $wpdb->show_errors(); $result = wp_install($weblog_title, ‘admin’, $admin_email, $public); extract($result, EXTR_SKIP); ?>

admin

‘.__(‘Note that password carefully! It is a random password that was generated just for you.’).’

‘; ?>”

There are 2 empty fields that look like a space to enter some information, what goes in there? email address? huh?
