Hi there, just to jump in on this thread I'm having the same problem, my provider automatically adds it's server name to the front of my databases,e.g. web170-databasename
I'm a bit new at the whole php thing and was wondering if there is just a part of the install.php that can be commented out to prevent it trying to change the name to web170databasename.

regards

Mick

The "-" in the database name is not my choice. I'm afraid I can't change the name. I hoped there was some kind of a patch, as there is for Joomla: Joomla 1.5.2 installer patch.

Generally it is a good idea not to include dashes in your database names - they're special characters that (in certain situations) require additional escaping. It's much more cross-platform friendly to use underscores.

Doesn't solve your problem, but it's possible that it's a limitation of SS or the database connectors and you might just need to rename your dbs.

jackvans-nl, Silverstripe changes it in: jackvansnl. Problem!
Anyone a suggestion? Thanx!
