On the install.php page, I filled in my details as follows:
Username: Rachel
Password: __________
MySQL host: localhost
MySQL: rachel_rachel
MySQL: rachel_coppermine
MySQL Password: __________
MySQL table prefix: cpg131_
(default value is OK; do not use dots!)
ImageMagick path: /usr/bin/
And yet when I click the button I get the error message "mySQL Error: Table 'rachel_coppermine.cpg131_users' doesn't exist".
I'm new to all this mySQL stuff and I don't understand a single thing about it... Can someone tell me what I can do to fix the error? I've been at it for ages and I can't figure it out and it's frustrating :(
Thanks.
you can not enter made-up data in those fields, you have to make sure you actually have a database called "rachel_coppermine". Obviously you don't have such a database. Ask your webhost wether you have mySQL at all (it's a minimum requirememt to have mySQL to get Coppermine installed) and what you mySQL data is.

I do have mySQL, I used it to set up Movable Type.
And I do have a database called rachel_coppermine.
In my control panel, it says
MySQL Account Maintenance
Databases: rachel_coppermine
rachel_mt
The second one is the one I use for MT, and the first one is the one I attempted to use to fill in the form on the install.php page, however there is still an error that says "mySQL could not locate a database called 'rachel_coppermine' please check the value entered for this"
does the user you specified have permissions to access the db in question?
