 * Hello there!
    I am trying to install wordpress, but I get this error:
 * WordPress database error: [Table ‘usr_kunde125_1.wp_options’ doesn’t exist]
    
   INSERT INTO wp_options (option_name, option_value, option_description, autoload)
   VALUES (‘template’, ‘default’, ”, ‘yes’)
 * I have a database called “usr-kunde125” plus a username and password which I 
   inserted into the wp-config.php. Everything is uploaded to my server but it doesn’t
   work so far.
 * What does this error mean?
    Thanks a lot, yours Phillip

 * I haven’t worked with hyphens in mySQL much, but I know that some SQL version
   do not support it well. Can you change that hyphen in the database name to an
   underscore?
