    Hi there,

    I dropped my tables in my database and am trying to set up a new one, so I can install vB on it.

    I am using phpMyAdmin and I go to create a new table on my database it asks me to enter a name and then a number of fields. What number do I enter? If I leave it blank it still asks me to enter a number (must be at least 1).

    Here is a screenshot of the problem (where it asks me a table name and number of fields) - Screenshot


    When I did enter the number 1 (just as a tester) it asks me the following:

    :confused:


    What do I do?


    Thanks for any help.

    You can't recreate the forum database by manually creating each table yourself unless you know the whole structure. If you have a dump of the database structure, run it on phpMyAdmin using Import.

    Anyway, why not just reinstall vBulletin?

    Thanks rkquest, I kind of sorted the problem - I just reinstalled vBulletin, like you said.

    Thanks for helping out
