Hey guys, 

 

i have here 2 Websites that should be restored. Therefore i created 2 accounts at my hoster and also fake domains. 
i created 2 databases 

i uploaded Kickstart Pro - changed the kickstart-php name

Starting 

Runs perfect until the DB connection question. 
there i insert User / Database name and Password. 

After clicking: NEXT i get THIS message... I never saw this and i have no idea what it wants to tell me. The User / password / host should be 100% correct

Unable to connect to the Database: Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER privilege(s) for this operation

May be - when i used PHP 7.3 while backup and now i have php 81 on restore server... it may become a problem?

Hello,

is it possible to use the PDO driver during database restore? There's a bug in MySQLi that causes that error, using a different driver (if available) fixes the problem.
