DB error before I even install!
« on: January 05, 2003, 09:12:04 AM »
I uploaded all the files and when I typed in the URL of the directory of where I installed them, I got the following error:

DB Error: Bad SQL Query: SELECT setting_name, setting_value FROM 4images_settings
Table 'database_name.4images_settings' doesn't exist

Can someone please help me out?

u must first create database, then start install.php

I did create the database, and the username and password are correct.  My config.php file has no problems with it, which is why I'm wondering why my install.php is not even showing anything but the error.
