Table 'hs_hr_config' already exists.

[akitikkx]

I have not been able to install successfully as I keep getting the same error and have run out of ideas on what to do now
Installation aborted due to an error.

Click [Clean Up Install] to correct the error and try installing again.

Table 'hs_hr_config' already exists. Query: create table `hs_hr_config` ( `key` varchar(100) not null default '', `value` varchar(512) not null default '', primary key (`key`) ) engine=innodb default charset=utf8

Help would be appreciated

Hi akitikkx,
It seems like your installation process has been interrupted, and due to some reason, it has been corrupted.
What you can do now is;
1. drop the database that you gave during the installation.
2. go to <orangeHrm-web-root-dir>/lib/confs using file browser and delete Conf.php file
3. access orangeHRM url through the browser and follow the installation instructions (fresh installation)

hope this might solve your problem.

Thank you chameera for the response. I have tried what you just told me and I am still getting the same error. In fact I was monitoring the \lib\confs dir while installing and Conf.php was never created, there is only Conf.php-distribution and Conf-auto.php

[chameera]

then set write permission to conf dir

Code: Select all

chmod -R 777 lib/confs

I encountered the same problem, applied the fixes suggested (dropped created database, deleted Conf.php-distribution and changed lib/confs directory rigths) but didnt work.

I am running Windows 7 Professional.
I am running XAMP for windows ver 1.7.4 with PHP 5.3.5 and MySQL 5.5.8

Any ideas?

Hi Nahualtsintli,
don't delete Conf.php-distribution. just delete Conf.php. If you already delete Conf.php-distribution, restore it to lib/confs/

Dear All

i have been trying to install the application and it shows always a blank page after database creation. after that when i refresh its always the same error thats being displayed. i tried all the options that has been told. how do we check the error message since its blank page.

Is there any alternative wherein we can deploy the script later

Hello Chameera,

These are the files I find in my lib\confs directory:
Conf.php-distribution
Conf-auto
log_settings
mailConf.php-distribution
sysConf

File Conf.php is not in my directory. What do you suggest? Rename Conf.php-distribution?

Hello pradheepayyanar,
in the blank page, if you refresh your browser (F5 in Windows Explorer), you may see the error message.

hello pradheep,
please follow the following instruction. i am pretty sure it will wok.
Increase the maximum execution time in php.
Do the following and try again installing.

Open the php.ini file and locate the following line

max_execution_time = 30

Change the value to 60.
Restart the apache server application.
Now try installing the application again.
Before that make sure that there is no database with the name and having tables already created.

This should install the application without any error.

Post the result after trying.

After increase the execution time in php.ini file it works for me...

[mrmgomes]

Changing PHP.ini max_execution_time to 60 did the trick for me. Thank you very much Ravi!


You know what I find annoying? People who come here asking for help, but when the solution is found no one ever comes back to leave a feedback in order to help other ppl out.

I guess there are no more replies after Ravi's post because it worked for everyone. Yet no one came back to say so.
When will people learn how to use a FORUM? Geez..
