I had the same problem - but if you look around line 120 of the vbjournal_class.php file - which is the code creating the problem:

FROM myvb3_ journal_entries AS journal_entries LEFT JOIN myvb3_journals AS journals ON

if you look closely, there's a space in the php code after the open quotes before 'journal entries'

FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX." journal_entries AS journal_entries

so the rendered output is looking for myvb3_<SPACE>journal_entries instead of myvb3_journal_entries

vB Journal 1.5.0 Beta 2

Beta 2 marks a vast improvement in the front-end editor interface for the vB Journal system. Including a new interface for the vB Journal Buddy System that is much more user-friendly than before. Also this interface provides a more secure way for your users to add their friends to their vB Journal Buddy List. Another addition to the system is a php back-end check for entries, comments, and journals. This will ensure information sent for insertion or updating will be correct. Another thing this new error check system will be those users who have javascript disabled will not be able to get around the front-end javascript check system. The error checking system will also give you, the administrator, more control with several new settings in your vB Journal Administration Panel. These new settings include minimum and maximum character lengths for entries and comments.

Check the first post for the Beta 2 Zip File which includes the updated installer and upgrade script. As always thank you for installing the vB Journal System and your continued support.

Sincerely,
Anthony Scudese
Lead Developer, vB Journal

I tried again... and the installer insists its a beta 1 to beta 2 install of course that gave database errors.
So I dug and luckly I had in my unzip forlder a beta 1 unziped file.

I uploaded that but I cant jump to template and phrases.

Is there a simple way I can manualy do this install?

These installers force you to do things one way and if you cant it wont continue.

My tables are already there so I cant go forward in the install and I do not know how to disect your php to figure what goes where.

here is a question... how do I delete journals of users that are no longer on the site? say I ban a few members. or they close thier accounts how do I know who is who I see the journals work by first member is journal 1... is there a userid somewhere I can use to bulk remove dead journals?
