Problem Installing Fresh 1.5.3

« on: May 28, 2003, 10:28:08 AM »

I am just in the process of moving servers and starting with a fresh install of 1.5.3.

However I am receiving the following error after entering the database details...

"Unable to use the provided database, descent-world_co! Please double check this information, and try again. Remember, some hosts add a prefix to your database name."

The database was only setup last night...should I just wait and see if it works later?

Here's a hint: with MySQL, you can't use dashes for a database name, only _'s. Check to make sure that your database name is done correctly. If not, then ask your host to provide your actual DB name. Database creation is a very quick process.
