Problems With Webshop Being Gone!

[galimatias1]

I have bought a webshop from ShopDanmark and uploaded it to the internet. Then I went to a osCommerce site where i typed in:

 

database server:

Username:

Password:

Database Name:

 

and other stuff and the whole thing just happened by itself, it worked and everyone was happy. Unfortunately there was a red/pink box in the top, telling me to delete som files for saftey reasons. I first deleted a file called "Install" and one of the messages in the red box disapeared. Then i tried deleting another file called "configure", then the webshop didn't work, but okay, I just put the configure back (I had of cause only deleted "configure" from the net, but after having put the file back on the net, nothing happened). Now i have tried re-installing everything, it still won't work. Then i go back to the onCommerce site where i retype database server:, username: and so on, but then it says I already have a "admin" - I already have an site or something, i guess that is what it means.

 

it says:

New Installation

 

Database Import

 

1050 - Table 'admin' already exists

 

CREATE TABLE `admin` ( `admin_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `admin_groups_id` int(11) default NULL, `admin_firstname` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '', `admin_lastname` varchar(32) default NULL, `admin_email_address` varchar(96) NOT NULL default '', `admin_password` varchar(40) NOT NULL default '', `admin_created` datetime default NULL, `admin_modified` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `admin_logdate` datetime default NULL, `admin_lognum` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (`admin_id`), UNIQUE KEY `admin_email_address` (`admin_email_address`) ) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=4

 

[OSC STOP]

 

The question is now, how in the h*** will i make it work???

Deleting all your database tables and all of the files and starting from the scratch would be a good idea.

 

The problem was that you didn't really read the message. It said, that your configure.php is writeable. Keep an eye on such messages and do what's required. Don't delete anything next time if you're not requested to.
