Version 3.12 install error

[Andrew Clarkson]

simply change your new config.php file to this: $table_prefix = '2011_';

save it. purge the cache.

done

Lumpy,tried that, resorted to general error;

Code: Select all

SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Table 'titanict_tt401.2011_ext' doesn't exist [1146]

What I am trying to establish is whether you still have the old database and if you have is it a separate one, or have the two sets of tables been put into the same database.

Have you been able to answer this yet?

Given that just changing the table prefix gave that error it is almost certainty "two sets of tables been put into the same database". The tables schema has no been updated and hence the missing ext table.

Change the table prefix back to 2011_. Upload the /install/ directory to the root of the board and run www.example.com/install/database_update.php
