When installing, I kept getting weird database connection errors.  I finally figured out that I intentionally removed the value from the database table preview field, because I didn't want to use one.  When I looked in the config.php, it indeed showed "prefix": ""

When I looked at the database tables, though, all the tables started with solo_. I changed the config.php to be "prefix": "solo_" and all of the problems went away.

Not sure what happened, but it appeared that the web installer took the prefix field being blank to mean use the default of solo_.

Thanks

I would suggest adding some text to the documentation that explicitly states that a prefix is required.  Currently, the documentation makes it sound like it's optional. Yes, it says it has to be 2 to 4 characters, but that doesn't mean it's required, the way it's worded currently appears to only apply to the requirements of the prefix, IF, you were to use them.

This is the common prefix of all database tables used by Akeeba Solo. It has to be two to four characters a-z and numbers 0-9 followed by an underscore. If you are unsure, use the default value of solo_
