Installation error: Tables already exist! #947
Description
Hi Ken,
I really love FormTools and used it on multiple projects for a long time. Now I wanted to use it again but the installation failed. My provider only supports php 8.1 - 8.4 and I tried with 8.1. Somehow the database tables are not installed. I get this message but the database is empty. I cannot get past this message:
Tables already exist!
Sorry, it appears that some tables already exist with the table prefix that you entered. You can either choose to overwrite these tables or pick a new table prefix.

PHP 8.1.32 - phpinfo().html.txt
The php error log message is:
[Sat May 10 15:29:53.192004 2025] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 54825:tid 37055888640] [client 172.69.225.237:39722] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: There is no active transaction in /v1/global/code/Database.class.php:148\nStack trace:\n#0 /v1/global/code/Database.class.php(148): PDO->rollBack()\n#1 /v1/global/code/Installation.class.php(933): FormTools\\Database->rollbackTransaction()\n#2 /v1/install/actions-installation.php(186): FormTools\\Installation::createDatabase(Object(FormTools\\Database))\n#3 {main}\n thrown in /v1/global/code/Database.class.php on line 148', referer https://forms.p.com/install/
It seems that you barely maintain the script but you updated it for 8.x. Any idea how this could be fixed?
Thanks,
Philip
