    Error trying to import a database

    I'm getting an error when using in Impex to import a database, I've read through the other posts and the problem has cropped up before, but the solution given is not appropriate to the problem I', having.
    I've submitted a support ticket but haven't had a reply in about 12 hours.

    When I try to import via the ACP or directly I get the following error :

    Code:
    ImpEx Database error
    
    mysql error: Invalid SQL: CREATE TABLE impexerror (
                            errorid bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
                            errortype varchar(10) NOT NULL default '',
                            classnumber varchar(3) NOT NULL default '',
                            importid bigint(20) NOT NULL default 0,
                            error varchar(250) default 'NULL',
                            remedy varchar(250) default 'NULL',
                            PRIMARY KEY (errorid)
                        ) TYPE=MyISAM
    
    mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM' at line 9
    
    mysql error number: 1064

    MySQL error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM' at line 9
    I also get an error in the Primary tables ( accessmasks) if I try to import via phpmyadmin

    Edit your /impex/index.php file and about halfway down is this line:
    HTML Code:
                          ) TYPE=MyISAM
    change it to:
    HTML Code:
                          ) ENGINE=MyISAM

      Code:
      ImpEx Database error
      
      mysql error: Link-ID == false, connect failed
      
      mysql error:
