I’m trying to create a site using the new control panel, and no matter what name I give it, it comes back with the error “Web site was not created because of error while creating a database: Incorrect database name ‘adamjamesblust.hostmyappcloud.com’” Am I doing something wrong?
Looks like this is another bug. Try creating a “Blank Site” first, then add the database after the site is created. This should work for you. I’m forwarding this bug to the engineering team.
Thanks for the info Adam, I posted the work around details here: http://blog.hostmysite.com/?p=451
