I was following the video step by step. When I was importing the database to phpmyadmin I got the following error:

3,920 PointsSomebody suggested that it may happen because of the wrong name of the database: the online database is trying to locate "localwp" database, but the online database name is different. I cannot change the online database name to "localwp". I have to use certain predetermined prefix. Is it possible to change the name of the local database?
I am doing it for the first time. I would really appreciate some help.

3,920 PointsI solved it. I needed to manually change "utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci" to "utf8mb4_unicode_ci" in the SQL file.
