stuck during installation... *sigh*

[jl01]

hello! i stuck during the installation. i am unhappy.

after running intall.php for the first time, directly after setting user and database information i get this error:
mySQL Error: Table 'mydatabase.cpg11d_users' doesn't exist

for me it seems like that in spite of the fact, that coppermine connects to my database it is unable to create a table. does anyone know how to fix this?

what exactly did you enter as db prefix? Do you have the permission to create db's/tables at all?

i tried to  install the previous version wich worked nicely.

i left the database prefix as default... hmpf....  whatever. could itbe that my mysql is too old? its version 3.23.23 i think.

would really apreciate to help me runnig version 1.2!

regards and thanks!

mySQL 3.23.23 should be enough (see minimum requirements), although a higher version is recommended.
You could try running the queries manually that are in the sql folder of the coppermine package (using a tool like phpMyAdmin).
Also make sure you have sufficient permissions to create tables (this is a common error if people run their own server: they forget to set the mySQl permissions).
