peertracker doesn't create a MySQL database. It only uses a pre-created database with the data given in tracker.mysql.php.

I recommend creating a separate database and a separate user for peertracker. (localhost is fine though) You should use the tools given by your provider to create the database. Sometimes you already have pre-created databases and you can only use these (put the data in tracker.myslq.php). If there are no pre-installed tools I recommend inexperienced users to use things like phpMyAdmin, which is also what is pre-installed by many webspace providers.

Same here. I've add a database and fixed tracker.mysql.php. That solved my problem.
