 * I get this error message when trying to restore my database with phpMyAdmin:
 * #1142 – DROP command denied to user
 * Any ideas on what’s causing this?

 * The MySQL user doesn’t have the required permissions to your database.
    You’ll
   need to add the permissions to the MySQL user using your hosting control panel.
