Yeah, that's not good. If
tommyw's suggestion doesn't
fix the problem (which i think it will), then
i recommend logging directly into
the mysql database server and issue the following commands:
- show databases - this will show you a list of
the available databases, make sure 'um' is among, them -
if not, then find out which database you need to use
- use um - assuming you found it in #1
- desc people; - (notice the semi-colon) this will
give you a tabular text table containing the field names,
their types, and more stuff about the fields.
If you do not see 'firstname' among them - well, that's
beyond the scope of this site. But i can point you to
the mysql
docs, in
particular, the
alter table syntax.
Pertaining to your 3 errors that you listed (which should
have been wrapped in <code> tags i might add),
the first and third errors are most likely just side
effects from the second error. Fix the second and the
other two should go away as well. :)
good luck!
