Hi @Sidra_Khan ,
To install OJS you must first have a database, and assign user permissions to it. As I see it is skipping those steps and using the example configuration.

driver = mysqli
host = localhost
username = ojs
password = ojs
name = ojs

name is the name you gave to the database.
username and passowrd is the username and password that have access to that database.

Please check if you are using a database and if you have the necessary permissions.
