I have a similar problem. I dunno if i've used the right settings.
I created a freesite. stexav.allhyper.com As far as i know the MYSQL Database is up too. stexav_members
I have uploaded PHPBB2 to stexav.allhyper.com
I can access the site using the above URL. and it's just an index list at the moment, which is right as i don't have an index page yet.
But when i go to instal PHPBB2 from it's respective directory. I get the following
phpBB : Critical Error
Could not connect to the database
Basic Configuration
Default board language: English
Database Type: MySQL 3.
Choose your installation method: Install
Database Configuration
Database Server Hostname / DSN: allhyper.com
Your Database Name: stexav_members
Database Username: stexav
Database Password: *******
Prefix for tables in database: phpbb_

stephx@bluebottle.com
Domain Name: stexav.allhyper.com

The database name, is obviously my username_databasename. is that right, cause that what the site labeled it.
The other thing is where actually is the database.
It's not in my files anywhere.????, but it appears in MySQL management
