here is the problem, after many complete uninstall and reinstalls of joomla the result is always that a table does not install.



An error has occurred.

1146 Table 'server27_jmln1.jom_k2_categories' doesn't exist SQL=SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM `jom_k2_categories`



does anyone have an answer please? thanks.

Hi. Where exactly do you get this message? Try to enable Joomla! system debugger to get more details regarding the error. This error indicates that a K2 database table is missing. Have you removed any tables manually?

see attached pdf

I don't see any attachments.

I am getting the same error as above. I have tried installing K2 a couple of times...Still getting the error msg

jos1.jos_k2_items' doesn't exist SQL=SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM `jos_k2_items`


this is on joomla 3.3

Just made a clean install of Joomla! 3.3 and K2 and had no issues. Which version of K2 are you trying to install?

I have the same issue, fresh install of Joomla 3.3 and I try to install K2 2.6.8 and get this error...
Table 'joomla_1gki3cllhd.y5zp7_k2_categories' doesn't exist SQL=SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM `y5zp7_k2_categories`

I get it the message shortly after hitting upload & install in the extension manager. I have not messed around with the database at all. I agree that the table isn't there, but why should it be I am just trying to install K2 now so why would I already have K2 related tables? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To anyone facing this issue:

I think this is caused by a first installation failure and then all subsequent installations are considered as updates. Try to :

1. Check that no K2 database tables are installed using a tool like phpMyAdmin. If you find any K2 tables, delete them ( they should be empty since it's a new install ).

2. Check for any K2 files on your server. Look for the com_k2 directory in both administrator/components and components folder. If you find the com_k2 directory there delete it.

3. Try to install K2 again.

Brilliant! Worked perfectly thank you!
