Hi,

I am having problem during the installation of the advancedpoll
I tried to change config.inc.php as follows:

$POLLDB["dbName"] = "AdvancedPoll";
$POLLDB["host"] = "localhost";
$POLLDB["user"] = "root";
$POLLDB["pass"] = "";
$POLLDB["class"] = "class_mysql.php";

yet, I received the following message:

MySQL Error : Database Error
Error Number: 1049 Unknown database 'AdvancedPoll'

A few bits of info : try shortening the database name to adv_poll the host should be alright, if its not ask whoever hosts your site what the root is to MySQL / database. The pass and user need to be set if you have access to a MySQL database. If you don't then you'll have to use the textfile version of Adv. Poll. If your site is hosted by someone with MySQL then you will of recieved or need to get the username and password from them to gain access to MySQL so the PHP can connect to it and create the database once you've put them into hte config file.
