Problem installing WP 3.1 in phpMyAdmin 2.11.4

I am hosting a website. My server is 000webhost.com and it’s hosting my website for free.

Apache ver. 2.2.13 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.*
MySQL ver. 5.0.81-community
phpMyAdmin 2.11.4

^^ these are the versions i’m using.

I’m a naive in all these things so I literally read each line and tried installing. Being a free user, I wasnt allowed to use Fantastico DeLuxe.So I tried installing WordPress 3.1 manually. I altered the wp-config.php file correctly and successfully uploaded all the file in the root directory i.e. inside public_html. However, when I try to install WordPress then i get the an error message that says something about the file wp-settings.

I even went through this thread:
phpmyadmin 2.11: where are the user privileges? (3 posts) in this forum. But it wasnt of any help.

Following the detailed WordPress instructions, I’ve got as far as creating a new database in MySQL and creating a new user in PhpMyAdmin:

“Click the Home icon in the upper left […], then click Privileges.”

However, when I click on the Home icon in phpMyAdmin(version 2.11.4), I can’t see Privileges anywhere. I must be missing something really obvious, but I’d really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction!

I tried doing all the setup correctly about 2-3 times but it was all futile. Can any 1 please help me?? How can I do it manually? Any ideas greatly welcomed.
