Will create tables affect tables already setup?[solved]

[Msbiz]

Hi everyone,

I am ready to reattempt the installation. Just had one question I need to clarify first.

I only have one database with my hosting which I have already set up tables on for another program.

When the installation comes to the create tables part, if I leave it checked will it delete my tables that I have already set up (from a different program not CMSMS).

I am assuming from the guide that they wont be deleted, but I really need someone to clarify if this is correct before I head into a disaster.

Thanks for your help.

Liz.

I really believe that it won't delete any tables. However, if you're uncomfortable with it, do you have, or have access to, any other hosting account where you can experiment with existing content in a test database?

It should only create new tables with cms_ prefix, if left to run in default mode on install...

Hi,

Thanks, guys. I've installed it without any effect on my previous tables.
