Requesting Assistance [spam]' doesn't exist error

Post by miss_kitty » Mon Jun 27, 2016 1:02 pm

Hello,

I just installed JOOMLA and was trying to upload my template so my site would incorporate the features of the demo. Now I an unable to log in to my admin panel and get the following error, " 1146 Table 'DATABASE.nfojm _[spam] _settings' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT * FROM nfojm _login radius_ settings." Has anyone seen this before and how do you fix it?

Thank you in advance for taking the time to respond.

Best,

MK

Please edit your post so that it is not converted to [spam]. Just adding a space somewhere should be enough.

Re: Requesting Assistance 1146 Table 'database.[spam]'' doesn't exist error

Hello Sovainfo,

I am a neewbie so please bear with me. I don't understand any of the above. I had to create a folder in my databse to import my dump.sql file. At first, that didn't work and I had a different type of error message and could not access my admin panel. I searched on the boards here and found that I was missing the *.ini file. That fixed the original problem. This morning, I attempted to upload the template file and was confronted with this obstacle.

The actual error message is 1146 Table 'database.nfojm_[spam]_settings' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT * FROM nfojm_[spam]_settings

Does this give you a better picture of my dilemma? What would you do next?

Thank you for you input.

As you can see, whatever you put in as the tablename is converted to [spam]. So, instead of typing the tablename, make it two words, so it doesn't get converted to [spam].

Don't know what the tablename is, but the same thing happens for dri ver : driver.

EDIT: Ok, looks like driver is not converted anymore!
