Important install com_kunena_v2.0.2_2012-09-02 issue

Hi,
I was trying to install kunena on my joomla 2.5.7 website
I'm trying to install com_kunena_v2.0.2_2012-09-02

my db has a tables prefix cms_

first time I tried it stopped telling me a cms_cms_kunena_sometableIcannotremember didn't exist (checked for the wrong table prefix, doubled)

system was telling me it saw an interrupted installation but couldn't go on with the install process...

Then I tried every method
I uninstalled immediately every component & plugin
deleted every cms_kunena_* table from database

message from main administration telling an aborted kunena installation was found disappeared
every next install tells me a com_kunena_version already exists (wasn't there before trying again)
Really don't know what's going on...any help??? really like Kunena BB

My system has PHP Version 5.2.8 and MySQL 5.0.51a so it fullfills the min requirements....

Thanks everyone!

Hello,

Do you have deleted the com_kunena directories under /components and /administrator/components/ ?

Do you have tried to do a clean install of Joomla! to retry ?

Is it you which choosed the database prefix or it's joomla which put this one ?

I've just gone through the process of reinstalling joomla 2.5.7 and filling it up with contents.
after the uninstall procedure I didn't find any com_kunena folder neither in administrator/components nor in the components folders
really would prefer not to install joomla again!
oh forgot, I chose the prefix cms_ could it be a problem?
thanks

No idea if I could manually install?
I have it correctly installed on a local server with the same characteristics (tables prefix, joomla directory)
I could use that site to copy from...but I'm afraid it could be dangerous for my site

that could mean:
copy installed directories:
administrator/components/com_kunena
components/com_kunena
media/kunena
plugins/kunena
copy all the com kunena DB tables
copy some data from the asset table?

Really don't know what to do...just give up trying to install kunena on this site?
Thanks everyone

I don't know what you've done or how you've gone about installing Kunena or why the procedure you are using to install Kunena is not working. The recommended way to install Kunena is to read K 2.0 Installation Guide .

There should be no need to copy files. There should be no need to get your hands dirty with the database. I'm sorry but I just don't know what to do in your case.

Hi, I had also the same problem
there is an error in installation module of kunena which tries to create the same table two times and later it stops because it can't create second time
ok, here is what you have to do:
1. drop all the kunena tables from sql
2. edit file
administrator/components/com_kunena/install/schema.php
3. find in file this function:
public function updateSchemaTable($table)
{
$sql = $this->getSQL();
if (!isset($sql[$table])) return;
$this->db->setQuery($sql[$table]);
$this->db->query();
//if ($this->db->getErrorNum()) throw new KunenaSchemaException($this->db->getErrorMsg(), $this->db->getErrorNum());
$result = $sql[$table];
$result = true;
return $result;
}
4. put two slashes before second "if" as in example above
5. save file
6. install kunena again, this time it will work

Hello,

Do you know what is the table which Kunena try to create a second time ?

Thanks, I will try this tonight...and reaaally hope it will work
That's good news!
Will let you know if it works fine

tryed but didn't work for me it's now complaining...

Table 'icmedicinadb.cms_cms_kunena_version' doesn't exist SQL=SHOW COLUMNS FROM `CMS_cms_kunena_version`

but it shouldn't exist since my prefix is cms_ not cms_cms_
this is not fair
