i tried re-installing on a new server and copied a completely new set of files. Triedthe installer but am getting the same message:
mySQL Error: Table 'albums' already exists on query ' CREATE TABLE albums ( aid int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, title varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', description text NOT NULL, visibility int(11) NOT NULL default '0', uploads enum('YES','NO') NOT NULL default 'NO', comments enum('YES','NO') NOT NULL default 'YES', votes enum('YES','NO') NOT NULL default 'YES', pos int(11) NOT NULL default '0', category int(11) NOT NULL default '0', thumb int(11) NOT NULL default '0', keyword VARCHAR( 50 ), alb_password VARCHAR( 32 ), alb_password_hint TEXT, PRIMARY KEY (aid), KEY alb_category (category) ) TYPE=MyISAM COMMENT='Used to store albums''

What do i do wrong?

[Joachim Müller]

Well, the error message should be quite clear: a table with that name already exists. Either delete the unneeded tables (if you really don't need them anymore) using a third-party application like phpMyAdmin or choose another table prefix during install.

thanks Gaugau but i copied a completely NEW set of coppermine files. NO tables made or whatever. This errormessage comes up in the install screen,  i havent done ANYTHING yet...

You are connecting to the same database though. The database exists independently of the Coppermine files. Do as GauGau suggests.

[renede]

thanks nibbler but no im not on the same database, im on a new server with a new host. i made only one database and tried to set the new coppermine to it as to begin from scratch. i made no settings

[Nibbler]

Just pick a different prefix.

[renede]

where do i pick a different prefix?

[Nibbler]

Where it says MySQL table prefix

[renede]

im sorry, but on the server or in one of the Copperminefiles?

[Nibbler]

On the installer.

[Nibbler]

Could not create a mySQL connection, please check the SQL values entered

MySQL error was : Access denied for user 'theaterinbeeld'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

i filled out host, username, password, databasename, MySQL table prefix (cpg1410_)

result: i can login but: Fatal error...

The details are not valid, check them as suggested.
