CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I updated to the latest Drupal and everything went (fairly) well (gotta re-tweak the theme), but when I run the installation for CiviCRM 3.0, I get a message that says "Cannot Execute DROP TABLE IF EXISTS CiviCRM_contact:DB error: constraint violation." This may be a MySQL problem or a constraint the ISP puts on it, but I'm too ignorant to know. Not too proud to ask for help, though, so what did I do wrong and how can I fix it? The previous install ran fine, except for all those Status messages telling me I really should update Drupal and my theme. Thanks for any help.

I think this came down to the fact that I did not have permission to DROP the old CiviCRM files. I never did get the "upgrade reset=1" or whatever to work. I ended up getting my ISP to set up a new database for CiviCRM, which I should have done in the first place. This worked, but now I can't find the CiviCRM Administration page to turn on CiviEvent, etc.
