E on "[Plugin: Akeeba Backup CORE for WordPress] Database Restoration Error"

I'm unable to connect to my database on my virtual machine where the site was developed on hostmonster. Here's the error:

Database Restoration
Database error processing line 10
Database server error reply:
ErrNo #0
 SQL=

Raw query text:

CREATE TABLE <code>#__commentmeta</code> (   <code>meta_id</code> bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,   <code>comment_id</code> bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',   <code>meta_key</code> varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,   <code>meta_value</code> longtext,   PRIMARY KEY (<code>meta_id</code>),   KEY <code>comment_id</code> (<code>comment_id</code>),   KEY <code>meta_key</code> (<code>meta_key</code>(191)) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4

I'm not quite sure what's going on here; everything up until this point has worked flawlessly with Akeeba Backup. Please advise. Thanks in advance for your help :)
