Important Note

Gibbon uses case-sensitive table names. If you are using a Windows database, please be sure that lower_case_table_names is not turned on, as this can result in all table names being forced to lower case, and may cause compatibility issues with modules and other servers. Please see the MySQL docs for more information.
