    Can someone help me with installation of wordpress 2.7. I have installed it with wrong username and password so i deleted the tables and database (my private server) and wanted to install wordpress again but I get this error:

    '.__('Already Installed').'

    '.__('You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.').'

    What can I do now? How to tell wordpress that I have already deleted the sql database?

    Thank you very much for your help.

    It's still recognizing the database for some reason. Have you created a new database, with a different name, and then changed that information in the wp config.php file?

    I am having the same problem. I deleted everything wordpress related from my server and reinstalled. Same error as above. I'm not sure I can use a different database name as I am filling out the wpconfig.php file as instructed by my host.

    Try a different $table_prefix in wp-config.php.

    Though don't know why you'd have to resort to that if you deleted the database tables.
