Trying to install 7.6

Involved Joined: Feb 08, 2005 Posts: 290 Location: USA

In the 7.5 forum I was in discussion about installing 7.5, for which I was advized to just go to 7.6 so here I am.

I'm in the process of following directions as described in the 7.5 forum by PHrEEk. So, I installed 7.5 via Fantastico but rather than delete that whole directory I just renamed it and created a new *empty* folder with the same name. I am now copying all the files from the /html directory (from the PHP-Nuke-7.6.0.2.8 version I d/l here per Raven). As directed by PHrEEk I'm copying all of the /html contents to my new *empty* folder.

The question now is, do I install all the other stuff not in /html? Like there are several UPGRAGES in a folder with like name ... or is that just info? There are also several other files that have no extension ... such as CHANGES, INSTALL, etc ... are those information files and not needed for the install?

I take it I'm to only copy the contents of the /html folder (I sure hope this has patches included already) and then Import the nuke.sql table, change config.php so it's correct? Is that it? Or am I missing something? Please let me know if that folder and those files are info only and not needed for the install? Thanks...

That's about it, you only need the files in the html folder of which you need to edit config.php, then create the db tables with nuke.sql through phpMyAdmin or whatever db tool your host provides.

Gammit it's just not my time or something : o/ Here's the error I got when trying to Import the nuke.sql table (from the patched version of 7.6)...

SQL-query:

MySQL said: Documentation
#1050 - Table 'nuke_authors' already exists

What'd I do wrong?

All /html contents were u/l to new *empty* nuke folder ... changed config.php to match what it should have been, left the admin.php as "admin" ... problem seems to be in importing the table?

BTW, in the Structure tab, all the Tables have a RED X and when moused over the X says Drop ... not sure what that's all about. I read elsewhere that I have to drop the tables? Then import the nuke.sql *again* from the patched sql folder? Is this correct or is the error relating to something else? If correct, how do I drop all the tables? Thanks in advance ...

The tables already exist, you need to drop them and create them again so that you can start with fresh ones.

I dunno how to drop em, is there a way to drop them all at once? If so, how? If not how do I drop them individually? Helpzzz? Hugzzz LOL

nm, got the answer elsewhere, I've dropped all tables and then imported the nuke.sql from the patched 7.6 ... time to *log in and hope for the best*
