Newbie from The Netherlands needs help with installing Vanilla

My name is Kelly Anches. I've installed Vanilla and ran into some trouble. Can anyone help me out? Here's my problem: I've made a mistake while installing the software, cleaned up everything on my server and upload the software again. When I tried to re-install I received this message: "We came across some problems while setting up Vanilla... Vanilla seems to have been installed already. You will need to remove the conf/settings.php, conf/database.php files, and database tables in order to run the installer utility again". In order to correct this error, I deleted the setting.php and database.php in de conf directory and created another database. But the problem continued. I dropped the directory on my server and uploaded the software again, but the same message. How can I solve this problem? I'm sharing the MySQL database with another application. How do I recognize the Vanilla tables in the database? Regards and thanks, Kelly Anches The Netherlands

    vanilla tables start with LUM_ delete all of them, delete all vanilla files and try again

    Thanx AlexL, I did what you suggested and it worked. It tried this solution before, but apparently, I made a mistake because it didn't work then. But now, happily, I have my new forum and can move forward from here. Thanx, one more time. Regards, Kelly
