    I got plogger 3 yesterday and started installing it right away. I've had 2 previous plogger 2.1 installs on my site before, whereas one of them is still active, working with no problems.

    when I installed the new version I got an error saying plogger is already installed, and rightly so, so i deleted the database entries with the plogger_ prefix, and thought that I could just reinstall the new thing, but what do i get? an error saying plogger is already installed... Then when trying to access plogger, i get this error message:

    Table 'NAMEHERE.plogger_config' doesn't exist

    SELECT * FROM `plogger_config`

    and that's 100% correct, as plogger isn't installed in the db with that prefix anymore (just with nameplogger_ prefix), but i want to install it, and when i try to do so, i get the "already installed" message. I've tried to delete/reupload the entire script aswell, but I can't get any further. I've also tried to change the table_prefix to something else. Got any tips, Mike?

    i fixed it. for some reason i had to change the folder name to make the install work.

    If you are overwriting your old installation you have to run _upgrade.php instead of _install.php. Also, make sure you don't overwrite your plog-config.php file.

    yeah, that was actually the problem, I wasn't upgrading, I deleted the old one and forgot to reset the plog-config file. as soon as I did that, it worked.

    I'm have a sort of similar problem. I've had a Plogger beta 2.1 gallery up for a year or so. I tonight tried to upgrade the gallery. I downloaded the zip file, made sure to remove "plog-config.php" and then uploaded the new files through ftp. I then ran _upgrade.php.

    I then get the message:
    ----------------------------------------------
    Performing Upgrade...

    Table 'soa.TABLE_PREFIXconfig' doesn't exist

    SELECT * FROM `TABLE_PREFIXconfig`
    ----------------------------------------------

    I double-checked and the creation date of the plog-config.php file is April 14th 2006, so I couldn't have replaced it accidently (I would assume). Is there any action I should take, or is this an unfixable error and I would need to run _install.php, possibly replacing the existing gallery?
