How to create a Drupal database on the server if you only have access via an FTP client I am a bit confused about how to set up server database,because my host provider(is a university site),only provided me with a ftp client username and password. I don't have access to phpmyadmin.:/
You need to ask your server admin to create a database and a user for that database to be able to install drupal. You don't need phpmyadmin but you do need a database/user.
