BIG PROBLEM!!

i’ve tried that, and unfortunately, since it’s the same database settings, it thinks that it’s been installed already.

ah well, it’s alright. thanks for trying to help, i really do appreciate it. i’ll just sleep and start fresh tomorrow.

Try editing the wp-config.php file and adding a table prefix only. This will force it to create a new set of (empty) tables for you to work with. This is a technique normally used to install two different instances of WP on one database. Worth a shot! Okay, NOW I really am going to sleep!

You need to access the mysql database by one means or another.

Do you have ssh/telnet access?
If so then you can login and run mysql commands with mysql

Do you know the MySQL user name and password?

If so then you can try installing phpmyadmin on your sub-domain in a directory.

If not look in wp_config.php file. It is there.

hey thanks guys for all the help. i tried jonimueller’s last advice, and it worked!! hehe…but i think i’ll still have my host clear the database tables. but at least for now i have something to work with, and i’ll just save my work and when i reinstall on a fresh set od database tables i’ll upload my work.

You shouldn’t edit wp-config.php (or any php file) in anything except a plain text editor. I don’t think Dreamweaver qualifies.
