creating customer accounts

[bargincircus]

I am trying to create a test customer to test the site and i fill out all the required information and i get an error as i submit.

The page -
http://www.septictech.com/purchase/i...create_account

The error message displayed -

WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.

this is also a fresh reinstall from 1.3 to 1.5

That's triggered by a database error ... probably caused by broken addons, or something incomplete in your upgrade.

The message is intentionally vague so as to not tip off hackers or malicious visitors about what problems might exist on your site.

could it also be that my site does not meet the minimal requirements?

[19-Mar-2012 13:48:36] PHP Fatal error: 1054:Unknown column 'COWOA_account' in 'where clause' :: select count(*) as total

from customers

where customers_email_address = '[email protected]'

and COWOA_account != 1 in /home/content/s/w/o/swolff1/html/septictech/purchase/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 101

thats what i got for my error in the log ... should i create a new fresh database?

Your PHP files have traces of a COWOA addon in them, but your database doesn't contain the corresponding database alterations that the COWOA addon requires.

So, either you've partially-installed a COWOA addon, or you've partially "removed" a COWOA addon. Either way, you've got half of it. You need either all-or-nothing, not "partial".

or FEC since I know some of the COWOA code is part of FEC..
