XF 1.4 vB 3.7.2 -> XF 1.4.5 Import Error (Table prefix)

[Static-Xbox]

Hi,

I'm trying to import a large forum from vB3.7.2 to XF 1.4.5, all of the credentials I have are correct, but there is no table prefix (verified through the database and by checking config.php). Yet when I validate the configuration of the database credentials I get the error:

"The table prefix or database name is not correct."

We are moving this forum from one server to a new server, but the credentials for the existing server are correct. I'm not the owner of the forum in question, but I'm doing the import in this case, and he has verified multiple times now that these are the correct credentials. Is there any other reason why this error would appear?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks @Mike, @Brogan and @Chris D!

Moving the database to the new server before the import has solved the issue and data is now importing. Thanks to all three of you for the help!
