SQL Error when installing. CPanel
Sat, 02/04/2012 - 6:10pm — telavir
I uploaded Drupal 7.1 to public_html directory. I turned off register_globals. Now I'm trying to install the database. In CPanel I added a database. I then added a user with a rather complex password and added it with all permissions to the database. When entering the info on the database page it returns the following error:
Failed to connect to your database server. The server reports the following message: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1193 Unknown system variable 'NAMES'.
I entered the wrong username first and it returned a user denied so I'm assuming the hostname, database, user and password are correct. Can I enlist the genius of the forum?
