The MBString extension is, on FAMP/LAMP server, easily added through easy apache. If you are working through a hosting company, then you will need to contact them and request them to enable MBString.

The database issue seems a bit odd. Log into your control panel and go to phpmyadmin, usually under either a "database" area of the control panel or MySQL. Create a database/then create a user/then a user password/then link user to database/then give user full permissions. Depending upon the host, you may need to state your db name to drupal as username_databasename as well as username_databaseusername.

Writing all that data down in your secret diary, you will have all the info you need to fill in the database blanks of the install.

If it's your dedicated server, you missed several "server" installation steps.

Good luck.
