Answer 1

If you use EasyPHP (Maybe it also works for WAMP/XAMP/LAMP?) this worked for me:

Open the following file in the EasyPHP installation folder:

\binaries\conf_files\my.ini

Just under the line where it is written:

[mysqld]

Write:

lower_case_table_names=2

So you'll have:

[mysqld]

lower_case_table_names=2

EasyPHP will notice the change in this file and restart, but you can always manualy restart to make sure.

You can test the variable using the command:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'lower_case_table_names';

Or in phpMyAdmin go to: Home > Variables, and search for "lower case table names".
