first of, I know nothing about web designing and I wanted a site which I couldn't afford the funds to pay a pro and to also host. I found joomla and it was so easy to use. in 2 of learning online, I can fairly say that I am almost a joomla pro. I created a lovely site on my localhost and tested it many times before saving up funds to pay for a host.

logged into cpanel and did everything right with the uploading of the site until I got to the point (the last move) where I have to import the already exported sql file. I keep getting this annoying error report '#1007 - Can't create database 'adsolutn_adsolut'; database exists'

when i visit the webpage, all i see on it is 'IT WORKS'. help b4 i go loco

Can you post a link to the said website?
I know Databoy is a Joomla pro too so he will surely assist as soon as he see this. Meanwhile, you should have done an auto installation. It's much easier that way. Besides, getting a webhost account isn't that expensive these days.

tried changing the database name but the system keeps telling me that I have no access to the dbname. and there is no such database. and it does not exist anywhere in my list of databases
