this is for a different forum though :). the first forum issue is solved. want me to delete this one and ask on there?

you are using the same database details along with the same prefix, SMF detects it is already installed. you need a new database or a different prefix.

burningwheel3

strange, never been an issue before. thanks once again

burningwheel3

I should mention that it says its already installed and i should just update to latest version. Never had this happen before

Illori

how are you trying to do a fresh install? are you following the guide on the wiki?

burningwheel3

probably not. just read it, but i deleted the entire forum dir

burningwheel3

maybe i should just upload old version 1.1 and run 2.0x update
