as for your question: to "install" php scripts on your server, you have to upload them to a public directory on your server. This directory is often called "public_html" or "public_http".

What do you mean with configuring your database? do you host your server yourself? or is it hosted by a company? if hosted by a company, they configure your database so you can work with it.

I removed the link in your post, because a malicious person might install this application on your server so you can't access/use it anymore

you don't have to install php scripts. you just have to upload them to a public folder, and then go to that page via your browser.

I just checked your link, and i think you just have to keep pressing continue, and then fill in the required data to install the application.

You won't have to configure your database. When you signed up for the hosting, didn't you receive a database login? if not, you should contact your hosting company and ask them how you can login into your database.
Often hosting companies provide a database management tool, such as phpMyAdmin or Plesk. These application allow you to create databases and tables on the database server.

What is the script you are trying to install? What error do you receive when attempting to install?

sqldatabase error.

there's no database error, there's an error in your php code. I recommend you to take a look at the code, or if you haven't written it yourself, notify the creator of this error.

looking at that I would say you should log in to your control panel with your web host and see if you have access to a mysql database first. If so, create one then with your install.php file you probably got a config.php file. Change the settings i.e. username database name password to that of which you just created then run the install.php again.
