Hi List, I found the problem - a buggy installation wizard :-( During pre-install checks the wizard checked for existing tables - As the wizad found one the problem was a remaining connection of user OPENCMS. So I run the wizard up to the check, looked for active sessions and killed them. After that I could proceed installing my CMS... thanx too all Mat -----Original Message----- Sent: Freitag 21.04.06 11:08:18 Subject: Re: DROP USER - cannot drop a user that is currently conn... >Lock the account before killing it so that it can't reconnect.
