Tony Wood	Thursday 19 June 2003 7:32:48 am Zack, did you do the initialisation by hand or via the install tool? I am guessing you don't want any of the data in the db so if you can go to the DB drop the tables. Then run mysql -uxxx -pxxx mydb < kernel/sql/mysql/kernel_clean.sql This will create a clean db for you. I hope this helps Tony Tony Wood : twitter.com/tonywood Vision with Technology Experts in eZ Publish consulting & development Power to the Editor!

zackwlg zackwlg	Sunday 22 June 2003 10:48:02 pm is there no way to install the tables manually perhaps with a sql file? zack
Tony Wood	Monday 23 June 2003 3:32:11 am Hi, This is what this does. It installs the tables manually mysql -uxxx -pxxx mydb < kernel/sql/mysql/kernel_clean.sql Give it a try, but remember to drop the tables beforehand to clear out data. phpMyAdmin is good for this if you are not happy doing it from the command line. tony Tony Wood : twitter.com/tonywood Vision with Technology Experts in eZ Publish consulting & development Power to the Editor!

Paul Forsyth	Monday 23 June 2003 4:52:19 am Try creating a new empty db and issuing the mysql command again. Sounds like there is content within the db already. If you are getting errors when going through the setup try and skip that phase.
zackwlg zackwlg	Monday 23 June 2003 5:29:52 am i can`t create an new empty db. i have only this db and it contains other tables, which i can`t drop. other applications use this db too. does ezp need a empty db?
