There are multiple ways to get around this error.
1) Change the Table Prefix The easiest way is to change the table prefix in the install screen. This is done by changeing phpbb_ about 1/3 of the way down in the install form. You can have it set to anything, but the most common is phpbb2_ . Make sure that it contains no dots ( . ) or dollar signs ( $ ) or slashes ( / ) because some PHP installs have issues with these kind of names. Try installing again
2) Create Another config.php ZoliveR has already helped you with this one. http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=48 Your board should be ready to run.
3) Drop All Old Tables This needs phpMyAdmin or similar for ease of use. Select your database in the left frame. Place a check in the right frame for all tables beggining with phpbb_. At the bottom, where it says "With Selected" there is a drop-down menu. Choose "Drop" and "go". Try the install again. |
