Hi all,
When installing the news v1.21 module, I get the following error message:

Table 'xoops_stories_files' already exists
Unable to install news. Error(s):

What can I do about this? Thanks!

it seems that you have previously installed the module no ?
If that's the case, just upload the files to your website, laucnh the upgrade script and update the module.

Hi hervet,

Sorry for posting this one in two separate forums. I wasn't aware that this wasn't allowed. I was in a hurry to get this done, this seemed the fastest way...

I did indeed previously install the module. How do I "launch the upgrade script"?

Thanks!

I've managed to fix it myself. Thanks for your time!

Not that it is a crime to cross post but it makes things cluttered and can make answers and half answers scattered.

Here's another tip, when you've "managed to fix it myself" we like to have include what it was that fixed the problem. This way others with the same problem might stumble on the answer here and not ask it again, or ask it again several times...

Nobody gets upset if the answer seems silly or trivial. Many others will have the same problem. It is always sillier if a question is asked and no answer is given except that an answer was found and not mentioned...

Searches have more value too.

Like DonXoop say, it's not a crime (but a kind of lost of time) and you could tell us what was your solution ?

Alright, here it comes:

- I uninstalled the old news module, then deleted both news folders from the server.
- Then I uploaded and installed the old news module.
- Then I uploaded the news v1.21 by overwriting the old one.
- Finally I uninstalled and installed the module and updated it.

Its a little bit complicated, but it seemed to do the trick!

Cheers! Guido
