<p dir="ltr">It's no so much the database name that causes the problem as I'm only using a simple name it's the hyphen in the connection string for the fqdn. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I'll have a look at this on Monday when I'm back in the office and post back my results :-) </p>

<p>Yes, I can use localhost but then on the last page where you setup all the settings such as url, admin password etc it fails at that point as well as it tries to store this in the database which again uses the fqdn and errors on the hyphon.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>My boss uses php a lot so he might be able to help me sort it on this page but I'm just a little concerned that db calls are used on other pages that will cause problems when Xerte is in use.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>What I'll try and do is sort it on this page and then post how we fixed it to the developers list to see where else it might need fixing
