• 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 hope everybody understands the question!

    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

    my database is empty. i accidentally deleted it and created a new one before reinstalling wordpress.

    please help.
