Hi,

I've searched on the forums to try and sort out this problem but I can't, I've noticed alot of people are getting problems connecting to the database because there username or database name is too long. The maximum characters I see other people say is 15 or 16 I'm not sure, my username and database name alone is 15-16 already. I'm stuck, please help?

Thanks,

Your user name is 17 already, which is too long. Make a new site, yakuza.vndv.com. Set up your database etc on that site, as you now have plenty of spare characters. Then, connect to yakuza.vndv.com from your current site.

It's a little bit subtle, yes, glad you got there in the end!
