Problems setting up mySQL in WebAir?
 

Anyone have any problems setting up mySQL dbs in Webair? I managed to set up only one, but now, when I try to add another I get one of two messages 1) Illegal characters in db name or 2) db name already exists.

There are no illegal characters and the db name is not repeated. I am not too versed at mySQL and possibly I am just boning it. No response in 3 days from Webair tech support about this. Anyone offer any suggestions?

Have you tried their live support?

yeah that should work. if not hit up gerard. you can do a search for him on the board to get his contact info. :thumbsup

Yeah, I tried Live Support, but they had no answers, and wrote that I should contact my Webair representative. My Webair representative replied through email (he is never on ICQ, or we're in different time zones) that he had no answers, and would forward my issue to the Webair tech team. So now waiting on tech team's response for three days.

3 days is a long time for a database to be created.

Yeah, no shit, so I am hoping that it's gonna be a really fancy database.

hi stickyd. sent you an ICQ just now. hit me up when you can and I will see that you are taken care of :)

Thanks gerard, all looks to be working smoothly now! :thumbsup

the question you should be asking them why it took so long.

you must have alot of time on your hands =// :1orglaugh

You probably exported from a post-4.0 format, which supports non-ASCII chars. The easiest fix would be to re-export from phpMyAdmin with the 'compat' set for 4.0, or 3.23.

When I used WebAir shared, I had to make a PHP script to use system(mysql < file ) to upload my data; it'd timeout before phpMyAdmin would return.. and was only about 200k. :(

well anyone would be concerned about a database taking 3 days to be created.

considering it takes less than 5 seconds.

Been setting up databases for myself and clients on webair for a while now, never had a problem, I've used several different panels, I like the one at webair the best
