This one really confused me.
I installed mysql on my IIS server and during install and setup there was no point at which it asked or told me a database name. So when I edited the connect file I had no idea what to put in, so I left it blank. Well that didnt work so I tried my renamed input directory name, then a couple of other things and finally i just tried test. Amazingly for some unknown reason to me that worked and I was able to run setup.php. I also tried mysql as the database name and that worked as well. But again I dont know why. Not knowing anything about how databases work I am obviously lucky. (Which is a good thing) SO I ask you all, what databases name am I suppossed to use? I can't ask my hosting service (me) cause he doesnt know. I looked through msqyl directories and the ee and the php and Im left clueless. And I realize I may be putting this in the wrong terminology but Im a mechanical engineer (should explain alot).
I had 1.22 installed and running, IT IS GREAT!!!, but needing to have the latest and greatest I made the jump to 1.3 ... messed everything up. But I wanted to say that what I briefly had a chance to play with in 1.22 I found to be awesome. Great job Pekka.
