 * I’m trying to move my site to a different hosting account (same host), I created
   a new database manually, I entered the details in the install.php but when I 
   try to install I get this message:
 * DATABASE CREATION FAILURE!
    Unable to create database “depensesfolles”. Please
   try creating the database manually to proceed with installation
 * Does anyone have any ideas? I’m freaking out a little bit 🙁

 * Hi Ptremblay,
 * Awesome! Something to note for others reading this thread. 90% of the time the“
   Create Database” option will not work on most hosting providers.
 * This is because its locked down at a server level. The best way to get around
   this issue is to manually create the database in your cpanel, and then connect
   to it in the install interface.
