   hi,
   I had 1.2 installed but only had a couple of posts that were not important, so I cleared the database and deleted all the files. Uploaded the new 1.5 files etc, and ran install.php and this is what I got:
   Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_author_rss_link() (previously declared in /home/httpd/vhosts/aussiediary.com/httpdocs/wp-includes/template-functions-author.php:99) in /home/httpd/vhosts/aussiediary.com/httpdocs/wp-includes/feed-functions.php on line 88

   Did you try running the upgrade instead?

   Yes, you need to run upgrade.php, not install.php. You are upgrading, not installing.

   If you delete all the tables from the database, then you are installing :) But from the sound of it, you deleted only the records and left the tables intact, so you are technically upgrading.

   One idea, if this is a fresh install, might just be to change the prefix for the new database tables? so, wp1_ or something (done in wp-config.php). Unless you're struggling for disk space, then that's the quick and perhaps cheating option.
