I was having trouble with phpbbi so I uninstalled it ... at least I thought I did. When I tried to reinstall it I got the following error message on the install screen:

'xoops_phpbbi_auth_access' already exists

How do I fix this?

Thanks...

Re: Complete uninstall of module?

When you uninstall a module, you first must deactivate it in the module admin page then uninstall it through the page.

Just deleting the files from the server does not work. Not saying that you did that though.

If per chance you did just delete the module without uninstalling, just reupload the module and uninstall the proper way.

If you did uninstall it properly then it may have left some tables in your database. You will need to use something like phpmyadmin to drop those tables from the database.

In the module folder there should be a text file with a SQL extension that will have a listing of installed tables to help you in deleting them.

HTH, and hope I made sense.

Thanks, worked like a charm.

But here's another question: how do I change the url icon. You know the one that appears in the url window?

I changed the favicon.ico file in the root, but it had no effect.

changing the favicon by overwriting the original is fine, but you will propbably have to clear your browser cache to see the new one.

Yes, that did the trick.

Here's another question: I'm using a theme that has a menu bar across the top callining on modules I'm not using. One of them I'm not using is the default forum. How do I change it to to my new phpbbi forum instead?

Thanking you before hand,

R.

Open theme.html in a suitable editor.

Look for the code in your tabs that shows something like

<{$xoops_url}>modules/newbb/

or http://yourdomain.com/modules/newbb/

and change the newbb to whatever the name of the module you want (phpbbI)
