There was an error connecting to the mySQL database.

[emrfixit]

I performed the install, auto, and all seemed be going good. In the setup screens I bumbled the host name and it gave me an error I dont remember, but I looked and saw I had keyed the wrong host name. After putting it back like it should have been, saved to continue, I now get the error that it doesnt see the database name. I figured it was suppose to create this during the install. What do I need to do?

There should also be a link named setupSQL.php on that page that will create the table when clicked.

I tried to post the image, but it wouldnt let me. I see no link specific to setupsql.php.

The database doesn't exist on the server. This is a mySQL error and isn't generated by the calendar program itself.

Please check the database name (some hosts require the user name of the account in front of the name like user_databasename).

I am the host, I am hosting this myself. I used the admin name and password of MySQL. Should I go into MySQL and create this name before I continue?

[Brian]

The database would need to be created. The calendar script will only create the table in the database. :)

Thanks for the information, I didnt see that posted anywhere. But I created the database and BAM! The calendar looks good, works well, GREAT job and it seems very versatile! Thanks...
