 * I recently switched my files onto another server and WordPress is having problems
   creating new tables on the database. Is there a way to import them through phpmyadmin
   or would I have to input them manually?
 * Here is an screenshot of the error: [http://oi55.tinypic.com/2s6tzz5.jpg](http://oi55.tinypic.com/2s6tzz5.jpg)
 * I would rather not have to reinstall WordPress.

 * I followed everything step by step before moving over. The problem is that WordPress
   can’t create new tables and I’m not sure how to fix that.

 * Ok, I even cleaned everything out and did a reinstall. Still giving me the error.
   Anyone have ideas?

 * -try contacting the webserver if the database server is online / if they have
   problem at their end, or they made any changes to your account, or if there are
   any limitations/restrictions, etc .

 * Also make sure your database user does have the privleges necessary to create
   tables:
