Noob installation problems - table doesn't exist

First let me say that I'm a total noob, so I apologize in advance for the next 8 questions, which are going to be pretty basic. I also apologize in advance if this question is asked-and-answered elsewhere. I searched but did not see this problem in another thread (though I am sure it is somewhere).

So I've gotten Pligg files transfered to a non-root directory under my godaddy account (MySQL, PHP, etc everything up to snuff). I have done all the chmods that I need to (I think). The problem is on the first installation of Pligg. It asks me for the basic info (database name etc) and I can actually get it to check out just fine ("found database...") but then I get stuck in a loop when I hit next - sometimes it goes back to the first install screen, other times it doesn't, but either way I can't proceed. When I check the troubleshooter I get the following error;

Warning: Table 'weatherman.pligg_config' doesn't exist in /home/content/n/a/t/weatherman/html/Pligg/libs/db.php on line 233
Error. The pligg_config table is empty or does not exist

Note: I have changed the name from my actual db name to "weatherman" for security purposes, but if it's important to know the actual db name I can give that via IM.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
