Error Installation table prefix WB 2.7.0

[G4]

Hello everyone,

Iam trying to install wb but I get the following error.

Error: Only characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and _ allowed in table_prefix.


This is the name of my database

my-site_nl_-_home

In my url is a -(line). Is this the trouble? I can not change the url.

Hi,

maybe I'm totaly wrong, but the issue with the "-" in database names should be fixed in 2.7 final version,
could it be you try a 2.7 RC version?

I got it from this url

http://start.websitebaker2.org/nl/introductie.html

Hm - in the install/save.php, line 228 ff.

Code:

<?php
    // make sure only allowed characters are specified
    if(preg_match('/[^a-z0-9_-]+/i', $_POST['database_name'])) {
        // contains invalid characters (only a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and _ and - allowed to avoid problems with table/field names)
        set_error('Only characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, - and _ allowed in database name.', 'database_name');
    }
    $database_name = $_POST['database_name'];
?>

The "-" is allowed ... but i'm not sure if it is official, as i've got some changes anywhere here ...

That's what I meant,

G4 get's the "old" errormessage without the "-"
The uptodate errormessage should be:

Code:

'Only characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, - and _ allowed in database name.

Just had a look in the download packages there is the correct code as mentioned by aldus.
Maybe the best to make a fresh download to get sure you have the actual package.

Still no succes!

Please help. Can someone place a link too the correct package please!!

Hi,

if you use the link you've postet, you have an actuall version.
Please have a look (as mentioned by aldus) at the file save.php in the folder /install
somewhere about line 228 you should read this:

Code:

if(preg_match('/[^a-z0-9_-]+/i', $_POST['database_name'])) {

Please compare it sign by sign.It should be exactly the same.
If it's so, you may have another problem, not the "-"
