Dear All,

Please whoever has any idea of this error message help me out.
I am getting the following error message when trying to dump the vexim mysql.sql file to my database. I am using Redhat Linux (Centos 5) as my OS.

[root@webmail setup]# mysql -u root -p < mysql.sql 
Enter password: 
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-
-
-
CREATE DATABASE vexim' at line 1


I have edited the file as directed in the vexim INSTALL manual. Where could the problem be?

Regards,
