Just purchased.. Help plz

[djshongo]

Hi I just purchased VB..
Im having some problems because im a novice with PHP SQL etc..

Ive downloaded all the necessary files and extracted them, Ive also edited the config page according to my DB settings (which my webhost provided).
My webhost provided me with my:

Database Name: xxx
Username: xxx
Password: xxx
Server: xxx

However, i'm lost as to what i do now..
Do i simply upload the 'upload' folder to my webhost and it works?
Do i need to set up tables manually in the database?

Help will be greatly appreciated
Id like to get it working today if possible

thanks in advance
johnny

Ask you webhost provided what type of base you have.
