I wanted to rename my database. So I went to phpMyAdmin, and the database operation side to rename it. Upon renaming it, it states

MySQL said:
You have exceeded the maximum allowed databases.

Yes. I have 2 databases, but I'm not adding new databases. I just want to rename one to the other name. Please help...

Thanks.

Export database, delete DB, create DB with new name, import the export.

You would need to do it through the control panel, using the phpMyAdmin won't work for database operations, such as rename, delete, create etc. You can edit/add tables to existing databases as well as backup (export) the data from a database and restore (import) data into new database but not create one during the restore.
