I installed a new coppermine gallery
coppermine created a new databes for the new gallery
I exported the databes and then renamed so will not overide the existing one and I get the same error
Is this a host problem?

I installed a new gallery for testing
I wanted to exported  the database of the new gallery to see if I get it right this time
but even this databes wont import - same error

I think maybe you are struggling with phpmyadmin. Don't worry, it is not the most intuitive of packages. What the error is saying is that you need to create an empty database before importing your tables. The import just imports the tables into a db you create. How that works depends on where in phpmyadmin you press the export button in the first place.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

thanks . you right

my database name on the old server was gc
now I created a new databes  - named it gc but my host adds by default myhostusername_ to all the databases I creat so the databes name is my hostusername_gc
imported the databes and it worked , I can see all coppermine tables

BUT

Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !
