Sure. here is a step by step method:

1. upload phpBB2
2. Log into Plesk
3. Click on your domain
4. click the "Databases" button
5. enter a name for your database in the space provided
6. it then will say: Database Users
New User ________

enter something in there, say phpbb2

7. enter a password

You have now done the plesk bit. the database, and user have been created.

Next access phpBB2 (www.yourdomain.com/phpBB2)

where is says database host write localhost.

for database name, enter whatever you named it in step 5

for user enter what you put in step 6, and then the pass you chose.

that should do it :)
