New install stalls on DB Error
September 25, 2008, 07:49:23 pm
My setup is:
Host -- GoDaddy.com
MySQL -- v5
Drupal -- 6.4
CiviCRM -- 2.0.6

The pre-installation checks all passed and I went forward with the "Check Requirements and Install CiviCRM".  Almost instantly I received the following page --

    Installing CiviCRM...

    I am now running through the installation steps (this should take a few minutes)

    If you receive a fatal error, refresh this page to continue the installation
    # Building database schema and setup files...
    Cannot execute DROP TABLE IF EXISTS civicrm_contact: DB Error: constraint violation

Refreshing the page did not work and didn't find any other forum messages that seemed to help.  I look forward to getting CiviCRM working and hope someone can get me past this error.

Thanks,
Patrick

You sure this is a new install ? since CiviCRM 2.0.x is not compatible with Drupal 6.x.

The message indicates you already have the table 'civicrm_contact' existing in your db (another indication of not a new install or db not empty).

This is a new install, as I am the only one working this project right now. My questions are: is there a way to still use Drupal 6.4? as that is my only option with GoDaddy (except to use Joomla), can I just delete the table 'civicrm_contact' and try again?

Is CiviCRM 2.1 compatible w/Drupal 6.4?

Thanks
