[Ariadne-general] Installing Ariadne under XAMPP for Windows XP

[Yvo Brevoort]

Hi Martin,

 From what I can see, install.php was already executed on the database 
before. When creating the nodes table it gives the MySQL error "table 
already exists", so the rest of the installation will not run. This is 
to make sure an existing database is not destroyed.

Is is possible that you have an existing installation in the database, 
or one that did not install completely? If it is an existing 
installation, try to remember the username/password that was set in it 
before, or use the setadmin.php script to reset the admin password.

If the previous installation is not important, you could also try to 
drop the tables and let install.php create new database tables. If you 
are going for this solution, please save the output of install.php - if 
you are still having problems, could you post this output in your reply?

kind regards,

Yvo Brevoort
