Thanks. I got it working. Seems table were not created in step 4.

I'm a newbie too, and I have the exact same problem ... I'd REALLY like to know how you fixed the problem!

Scion has said the checkbox to create tables was not enabled in step 4.

Well, wouldn't that delete the forum that's already in the database?
Some way to work manually around this?

Hello again,

either you have "the exact same problem" (nothing is installed so you don't care to delete the previous install) or you haven't said enough about your own problem.

I understand this way : you have previously installed another software (a forum) already using the database. To install CMSms, you need to create its own table. It won't hurt your existing data, as CMSms prefixes its db objets. See :
http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... d_database
Just use a prefix the other software doesn't.

Have fun !

Thanks, worked like a charm! Being new to databases and such, I was afraid creating new tables would overwrite the forum. Consider me the wiser now
