ERROR: Tables already exist! #777

Open ghost opened 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

I am doing a new install in a Linux Mint distro, with XAMPP installed and working fine (localhost and PhpMyAdmin Ok). I have created a new data base in PhpMyAdmin called FF and it cannot continue, it keeps telling me:

"Tables already exist!

Sorry, it appears that some tables already exist with the table prefix that you entered. You can either choose to overwrite these tables or pick a new table prefix."

How can I solve it?

Hey There!

Form Tools uses a Prefix on installation to prevent any overlap in tables (a typical Form Tools install will have many tables). So instead of a "users" table, you'll have a "ft_users" table.

What did you set your Prefix on installation as? If you don't remember, you may need to reinstall Form Tools and pick a unique prefix (maybe ft01_ or something else).

Hope this helps!
