CONetWebDesign Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Been trying to install Presta 1.5.2 (fresh install) all afternoon and I havent been able to get past 13% before it comes up with this error: * Create database tables 1. SQL error on query Table 'prestashop_access' already exists An error occured during installation... You can use the links on the left column to go back to the previous steps, or restart the installation process by clicking here. Totally baffled... Ive tried everything suggested on the forums, changed the db name, password, removed any capital letters, spaces, underscores, numbers etc and its still not working. If anybody has any suggestions I will love you forever... Pleaseeeeeee let me know asap. Thanks Edited November 12, 2012 by CONetWebDesign (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Patron Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 via phpmyadmin, delete (drop) all the tables in that mysql db then try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CONetWebDesign Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Ive done this approx 4 times today and its still doing it. Wouldnt be anything to do with a server/sql timeout or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Patron Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 some thoughts (ramblings): log into your hosting account and check the error log's.... if you are installing as innodb...the try myisam... if all else fails...you might want to consider contacting your hosting provider... you re not the first, see if any of these fit/fix your problem https://www.google.com/search?q=prestashop+install+prestashop_access%27+already+exists&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
