Hostgator & Prestashop stuck in step 3 of installation

[AndrewHuk]

Hello All,

I thought I would share the following:

When I created the mysql database in the hostgator control panel and choose for it to create a random password, it create one for me with the following format

ZHFCt

Now when installing the database connection test would be successful, however when I went to create the database it would stick on step 3, so I created an new password without symbols, it would complete the installation.

So it seems that the database creation part of the script does not like special symbols in the password.

Hope this helps any other hostgator users.
