Every time I try and install b2 I get this error:

Now creating the necessary tables in the database...


doh, can't create the table "b2posts" in the database.

query:
CREATE TABLE b2posts ( ID int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, post_author int(4) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, post_date datetime DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00' NOT NULL, post_content text NOT NULL, post_title text NOT NULL, post_category int(4) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, post_karma int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (ID), UNIQUE ID (ID) )

error:
Table 'b2posts' already exists


What in the hell does this mean? What am I doing wrong? Can anybody help?

Don't panic - there's nothing wrong. It's just telling you that the table b2posts has already been created in a previous install so doesn't need re-creating. That's no problem and you can carry on regardless.

But if you want to start again, losing any posts that you may have made in the past, b2install.php says:
Code:
# Note: if you want to start again with a clean b2 database,
#       just remove the // in this file

so you could do that if you wish. But remember you will lose all your current posts if you had a previous installation.
