Installation error

[AVguy]

This is my 1st attempt at installing and this is the error that I am getting.
Could you please help:

Database error in vBulletin :
Invalid SQL:
SELECT *
FROM datastore
WHERE title IN ('','options','bitfields','attachmentcache','forumcache','usergroupcache','stylecache','la nguagecache','products','pluginlist','cron','profilefield','loadcache','noticecache');
MySQL Error : Table 'forum.datastore' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146

At what exact point in the installation are you getting this?

Steve,

When I open upgrade.php in my browser

[Steve Machol]

I don't see how that is possible since install.php expects an empty database and would never produce that error as the first step. Please describe everythign you did.

Steve,
I just edited my post...it was upgrade.php not install.php

[Steve Machol]

You need to run install.php for installation, not upgrade.php. Please follow the installation instructions in our online documentation here:
