I'm upgrading 2.7 and trying to keep my old wp-config file. When I went to the install script I got this message:
"You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first."
I didn't have many posts so I don't mind losing them and restarting. What's my next step?
Thanks in advance.
Use wp-admin/upgrade.php (not install.php) if upgrading.

Thanks, Michael. Actually, I tried to do a fresh install but kept the original wp-config file. Everything else was new.
I tried the upgrade.php script like you suggested and got:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_remote_post() in /hsphere/local/home/steveand/sima-wisdom.net/wp-includes/cron.php on line 201
This usually means some files didn't upload right, but I went through and meticulously compared files to make sure they were all there. What next?
The function wp_remote_post is in wp-includes/http.php so try uploading that file.
If that doesn't resolve, recommend you redo Steps 7 and 8 of Upgrading WordPress Extended.
Make sure when Uploading WordPress to a remote host that you are using ASCII file transfer mode (or AUTO mode in FileZilla).
