Upgrading from vb 4.2.2 to vb5

[Mr.Danko Jones]

Getting this error:

"An error has occurred with your database. Please contact vBulletin Support for assistance.

Module: install, Step 2 Database Error:1050

Table 'access' already exists"

...yet I want to keep my old database's information. How can I work around this?

Thanks! :)

Are you running upgrade.php or install.php? You need to run upgrade.php if you want to keep all of your old stuff :)

why?

[cellarius]

Because he wants to do an update, not a fresh installation? Seems quite logical to me...

[dougdirac]

I mean why does he want to upgrade to vB5? Perhaps he's just trying it out on a dev server.
