1) My first thought would be to check your config.inc.php file. Have you edited that first? Look for the following line in your script there:
* database account settings
Just after that line, you will define your host, user, password and table space. I would also change the other options available while you have it there. This is a minimum step that should be done FIRST... before running the installer.
2) If you have already completed this step, and you are receiving that error, it is likely that you have entered bad information into the config.inc.php file. Be sure what you entered is correct.
3) Thought I would throw this one out there too... make sure that you have already created the tablespace for it. The installer will only create fields in or connect to a space that exists.
Hopefully one of these will help you,

I did a search for config.inc.php file and it does not exist. What do I do?
