Topic: Clean install problem

Hi,

I'm trying to install punbb 1.2.5 (First time I'm trying to use it, so It's really a clean install)
After copying upload/* to a directory (chmod 777 on it), make a new db (punbb) in mysql, I started the install.php.

Here is the error message I have when I click on the "start install" button :

An error occured on line 427 in file /var/www/.../forum/install.php.

PunBB reported: Unable to create table jdr-bans. Please check your settings and try again.

Database reported: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-bans ( id INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, u (Errno: 1064)

I'm using MySQL 4.1.11

What's wrong ?

EDIT : I forgot to say that I'm using PHP Version 4.3.10-2

Thanks !

Re: Clean install problem

You can't use a - in table names, use an underscore
