I accidentally deleted the extcal folder from my module directory, before uninstalling it through the admin section. Now when I go to re-install it, it gives me this error:

Table 'xoops_extcal_cat' already exists

Unable to install extcal. Error(s):
Back to Module Administration page

CREATE TABLE xoops_extcal_cat ( `cat_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `cat_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `cat_desc` text NOT NULL, `cat_color` varchar(6) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`cat_id`) ) COMMENT='eXtCal By Zoullou'
Error number: 1050
Error message: Table 'xoops_extcal_cat' already exists

How can I rectify this error and get extcal reinstalled? I've tried re-uploading the module and get the same result. I'm using XOOPS 2.0.18.1 & am a noob, so please bear with me :)

Two options:

1) If your ISP has a phpMyAdmin, then use it to delete the table, and then install the module

2) If your ISP doesn't have phpMyAdmin, then edit the /sql/mysql.sql file and remove the part related to creation of 'xoops_extcal_cat'. Of course, make a backup of this file, so once you've done, you can restore it back to the original state.

Thanks for the fast response! #2 didn't work, but #1 fixed it. There were also a few other tables that needed to be removed, but once I knew where to look it was easy. Thanks for the help Mamba :)
