My host is 1and1. I have several mysql databases. My problem is, on the database initialization, i'm not asked which database to use i.e:


Servername:
Port:
Username:
Password:
Socket (optional):
database: <<<<<<(missing)

So when i get to the stage of site access, i'm presented my username as the database of choice. For my, the Username & Database name are different.
As a result, i can't install exponential.
How can i resolve this problem?

    Step 5 ("Database initialization") is where you tell the wizard how to connect to the database server. The wizard will display the available databases and suggest you to choose one during step 9 ("Site details").
