If it can't pick it up you can go into your phpmyadmin and enter the data yourself, then when running the install unclick "import database"

You're welcome.

 

If you have problems this is what you do.

log into your phpmyadmin, select the correct database name.

Click on SQL

then either copy and paste the code in the oscommerce.sql into the text box and click go

or

click browse, find the file then click go :)

 

Should be all set then.

imported database as explained above. But now i get a "Unable to connect to database server!", but it does connect to database or it wouldnt give me a "The configuration was successful!" message. If i cant the database info it wont let me finish config. Weird??

Once you have installed the setup database manually you then also set up the two configure.php files manually - and this removes the need to run the install process at all.
