Amassment Message Board

I have been trying to work on setting up a fanlisting collective for so many hours --- I think I may have fried my brain.
I am confident in my layout/content coding skills, but trying to (and failing to) install Enthusiast 3 literally has stumped >__<

I have setup a database and a user w/ password on MySQL and input it on the config.php
I was able to get to the installation part. But my problem comes on step 5. The installation rules tells me I can log-in through the index.php page, but when I open the page, it just shows a blank page with the header: I also don't know if I'm using the config.php database variables correctly.
I currently have it as:

$db_server = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'databasename_L******';
$db_password = ''databasename_f******';
$db_database = ''databasename_f*******';

Any help is appreciated @__@ Thank you!
