already installed

  • I’m trying to install WordPress, but I’m not so good with computers. Now it appears that I’m almost done with the installation and I have to browse /wp-admin/install.php and than it says that
    “You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.”
    I tried to complete the installation before, but never saw any databases as described in the manual. I don’t know how to clear the old database tables.
    Can someone help me please?
    Thanks!

  • tables were created in the databse from your previous attempt

    2 options
    log in to phpmyadmin and check mark all tables then use “Dro” command at bottom of page
    or
    open wp-config.php and change this line
    $table_prefix = 'wp_';
    to
    $table_prefix = 'wp1_';
    then run the install url again
