config.php3

[sturges]

I have problam with config.php3. I am on CIHOST with shared MySQL (maybe?). Im set up on database with a DB called ‘danube’. All work on DB must be set up under danube table, ie if table ‘test’ required, it must come under ‘danube’. If I put $dbname="freewareforum”, then this will fail. If I put $dbname="danube”, it says it will delete database! How can I install the “freewareforum” within “danube”? I wont to try free version before I buy.

Help Please!

Sorry, I should mean I have a DB set up as 'danube', and can have many tables within that, but I can only have 1 DB, so dbname must be danube, but if I choose this will my already tables I have be deleted, or will a new tables be created for me? I don't want to loose any info I have already for other tables!!

Thanks.

OK, so if I set the dbname to 'danube' in config.php3, in step 3 I see this in browser


Attempting to connect...

Connection succeeded! The database already exists.

Click here to continue ->

Click here to continue and reset the database to an empty one ->


So what does it mean by 'resest the database to an empty one'? Will it create new tables for vbulliten alone, or will it loose all my current tables that I already have on DB 'danube' that I use for other applications? Can anyone help please, I'm afraid to cause damage :(
