Description of my issue:
I want to restore my backup to a localhost and get following error message right at the beginning:

SQL=CREATE DATABASE `DBxxxxxx` CHARACTER SET `utf8`

I have read and tried many settings, but no Change.

I guess, I'm just missing something...

Can you advise?

Pleased to hear

Hartmut

Technically, Kickstart is just the jpa/zip extractor, your restore is actually failing in the installer phase.

In most cases the installer can not create a database, it can only restore tables and data to an existing database. You need to create a database, password and user before your restore. Did you do that?

Hi Dale,

Many Thanks for quick reply!

Yes, I did.

Meanwhile it worked (after at least 10 attempts), but now have another issue.

Will revert to that after I tried on my own.
