I don't think Fantastico will let you share the same database when it installs. You can however, install SMF by hand and use the same db, but you'll have to have the username and password for it. You can get that from the Mambo config file (not sure which file it is because I don't use mambo).

If i installed in manually, under which directory should i install the SMF ? i installed the Mambo under the root. If thats the case i guess i have to make another folder within the root just for SMF ?

Are you trying to intergrate the two of them? If so, there may be specific instructions for that, but I'm not sure what they are. I know Mambo and SMF go together, but I'm sure there is a specific way.
If you aren't trying to merge the two, than the directory won't matter. You can put it wherever you want, but I would suggest in a directory beneath the root, such as forum. eg. siteurl.com/forum This will prevent confusion between files and keep things from being overwritten by each other.

In that case, all you have to do is just make sure they are in the same database, that's all. The location shouldn't matter, but it might.

Well, I'm using the WS_FTP Pro 9, so this might not be exactly word for word the same, but basically:
Hostname: ftp.yoursiteurl.com or yoursiteip UserID: your ftp username, usually just your site username Password: your ftp Password, usually just your site password That should be all.
