upgrading problem!

[Blaine0002]

when im upgrading i get this following error

$config['Database']['tableprefix'] is not empty!
Within config.php $config['Database']['tableprefix'] must be empty for the upgrade to proceed.




Makes no sense! the vbulletin installation is installed with a prefix, if i take that out there would be no isntallation, help!

Are you sure you have the database info setup correctly?

[Blaine0002]

yes, i basicly just copied the stuff from the old config.php to the new one.

[Blaine0002]

Please copy-n-paste the appropriate lines for this section from your config.php file.

[Blaine0002]

// ****** TABLE PREFIX ******
// Prefix that your vBulletin tables have in the database.
$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = 'vb35_';

[Steve Machol]

Do you have a vb35_ table prefix on your existing database?

[Blaine0002]

of course.

Then I don't know why you'd get this error. Please report this in the 3.5 Bug tracker.

This is only run when you end executing the 3.0.0 upgrade script which is designed for 2.3 > 3.0.0 upgrades. What was the previous version you were on and was tha a fresh install?
