Dellytoe Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Hai guys, I got same problem as mention above. could you please inform me how to solve this problem? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 This error occurs when you try to install Prestashop twice with the same database prefix. You need to log in to phpMyAdmin and delete all the existing database tables with that prefix, or if you want to keep that Prestashop installation and create a second one in the same database instead, you should provide a different database prefix.

Dellytoe Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Thanks for your info. I've decided to delete all installed prestashop than reload again. I started from the beginning and installed satisfactorily. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classyjoeses Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I had to delete all my prestashop files on my computer because I made some mistakes and needed to go back to original settings (minus all my meddling).I've reinstalled Prestashop again and I want to restore the old database.How do I 'drop the database in'? on step 3 as opposed to deleting it?

rocky Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 There is no option in the installer to do that. The best you can do is choose the "Clean install" option, then import your tables using phpMyAdmin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyGoogleGuy Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Please help, I am Stuck! - During the installation process - "A Prestashop database already exists, please drop it or change the prefix." Can't get to the next step. I have tried changing the Database engine from InnoDB to MyISAM (No Luck.) Created new database(s) several times. (No Luck.) Tried new database (No Luck.) Reading the forums it appears that others have had this problem, but no solutions posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
