Basic help

[Nobody/Anonymous]

When I try and import the initialization file, I get the following:

Error
SQL query:

• PHPDraft Database Initialization Script
• This script requires an empty database to be initialized, and then replace the name below with your database's name.
• NOTE: Change this to whatever your database is. Make note if your host requires a prefixed name, like ACCOUNT_phpdraft (common on shared hosting)
  USE phpdraft;

I know that my host does use a prefixed name, but I don't know where to make the change.

The issue may be the comments aren't properly formatted? What's the error that MySQL gives you? I just see the start of the init script, and not an error per se. Comments are all lines that begin with "- ", if you remove them and re-run the query what do you get?

I am having the same problem… I'm not real good with php and databases, but here is the whole error message I received

**SQL query:

  USE phpdraft;

MySQL said:

#1044 - Access denied for user 'davidtuc'@'localhost' to database 'phpdraft' **

I figured it out!!!

I had to edit the "database_initialize.sql" file in the sql directory. I had to change the line near the top that read "USE phpdraft;" to include my prefix name from my shared host.
