This is a "How to" for people with Basic to Medium Web Development knowledge.
After spending some time on the installation of the Expression Engine on one of my Lunar Pages...
I thought to share my findings so anyone who has the problem of never having installed EE or MysqlDB,
can go on installing EE quickly.

1- Log on to you Lunarpages account and go to the Control Panel.
2- On the LPCP go to the MySQL Manager
3- Create a new MySQL Database (keep the name as short as possible)
4- Create a new MySQL user (again name as short as possible) leave the host as assigned by default.
5- Grant this user all access on the Database.
5- Upload the EE files.
6- Go to the install.php
6- When it asks for the database info use this:

host/server: lpsql01.lunariffic.com (It won't work with the IP Address you will find in the LPCP)
username: yourusername_whatyouadded (Don't write the "@ipaddress" that you see in the MySQL Manager, won't work that way)
password: the one you chose
DBname: yourusername_whatyouadded

Fill the rest of the form with your info. Enjoy the charms of Lunar Pages and Expression Engine

Hope this help someone.
