    Hello!

    I am trying to install WordPress but when I open the wp-admin/install.php link the page says error and that I have already installed WordPress and that I should clear my old database tables first. But my database is totally empty if it´s the FTP it means? When the read me file says “upload everything” after editing wp-config.php what exactly does it mean?

    I don’t believe you can edit your database with an FTP client. You need a database management system to clear the tables.

    simplest thing to do is open your wp-config.php and change the $table_prefix from wp_ to something else like wp1_
    this will force the install with new tales

    or log in to phpmyadmin and checkmark all tables and at bottom choose “drop” from the drop down box
