Do you have a test account for us? not able to complete the installation
I had previously tried to install efiction, but for some reason when I uploaded the folder to maintain the hierarchy, I ended up getting a 404 error. I attempted to take all of the files off of my web space and start again, and every time I try to do the automatic installs, I get this error. I have just started to get into php, and am really lost at this point, so if there is any manual stuff that needs to be entered, I may not be able to follow, sorry.
oops! I feel pretty dumb right now 😳 I don't think I removed all of the files before uploading them again, overwriting should have fixed it, but I am going to try and clean everything off the server, upload and install again. I'll post if I have the same error
You forgot to empty your database.
Thanks, that worked 😀
This sounds like the problem I'm having and posted about here. But I'm confused; where does it say to empty the database? And doesn't that remove your categories etc?
She was trying to install, not upgrade. And yes, it would delete everything, including categories. If you try to do a new install, and the database exists, you will get errors, because it can't create something that already exists.
Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.
