Hi .. does anyone have this problem?

when trying to install Exponential 3 release 2 using the web based installer and when i input my database settings ... it gives me this error .. no matter what:

Initialization failed
The database could not be properly initialized.

MySQL Error #0

** when i install Exponential 3 release 1 it works just fine .. any ideas anyone?

If you try to initialize with the exact same settings as for your release 1 installation, it may fail because the database already exists. In that case, either use a different database name, or drop (delete) the existing database.
