Troubleshooting

#1007 - Can't create database

   #1007 - Can't create database '%dbname%'; database exists 

This indicates that you have a query in your SQL file that is
trying to create a database, and since it already exist, it will not
work. Someone must edit the file and remove the CREATE DATABASE query.

#1044 - Access denied for user

   #1044 - Access denied for user 'username'@'host' to database '%dbname%' 

The issue here indicates there is a query that is attempting to
create a database with the wrong username. If the database was created
with a different user name than what is in the SQL file, it will need to be updated.
