1050 Table 'upgrade_exceptions' already exists

[lioncity]

Hi all,

I am installing a Zen Cart, and encounter the following installation problem:

1050 Table 'upgrade_exceptions' already exists
in:
[CREATE TABLE `upgrade_exceptions` ( `upgrade_exception_id` smallint(5) NOT NULL auto_increment, `sql_file` varchar(50) default NULL, `reason` varchar(200) default NULL, `errordate` datetime default '0001-01-01 00:00:00', `sqlstatement` text, PRIMARY KEY (`upgrade_exception_id`) ) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=5 ;]

I have searched the SQL file, there is only one place to create table `upgrade_exceptions`.

Please kindly advise how to resolve this problem, thank you!

Best regards,
lioncity

Is this your first attempt at installing, or did you start the process and then exit somewhere in the middle before completion?

If you have access to phpMyAdmin try dumping the entire database, or try adding a table prefix when you attempt to install, as that will compensate if the standard table names are already created.
