New Install table error

[m0tocross]

Hello I am having a problem with a new install of OSC. When I start the installation process I get to the part where you have to enter your dbase information, once I click the continue button I get the following error:

 

 

New Installation

 

osCommerce Configuration

 

A test connection made to the database was NOT successful.

 

The error message returned is:

 

Table 'crunch_stomach1.configuration' doesn't exist

 

Please click on the Back button below to review your database server settings.

 

 

What do I have to do to fix this? I am running OSC 2.2MS2. I have created the database that OSC is to populate but did not create any tables in same ( did not know I had to). If any one can help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thanks

I think i had to create a blank table called 'configuration' to get mine to work. It drops it before adding the data, so you should be okay

Thank you. I tried that and the installation said it completed but then I got this error message once I tried to access either the catalog or the administration area:

 

1054 - Unknown column 'configuration_key' in 'field list'

 

select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from configuration

Never mind I answered my own question. I had to have the two mentioned fields in the configuration table. From there it worked just fine.
