I have tried to install Omegaboard but received an
error message

"An error has occurred during installation
An error occurred trying to update the database
Table 'jimberry.phpbb_flags' doesn't exist"

My site is hosted by Webstrike on server 216.58.174.152
site = www.jimberry.org
DB name = jimberry
DB user = jimberry
PHP4 and MySQL 3.23.56 are available (and already
successfully used in another application)

In the database configuration panel I have entered the
following
Database Server Hostname / DSN: 216.58.174.152
Your Database Name: jimberry
Database Username jimberry
Prefix for tables in database: omegaboard_

In my host php administration page are listed 44 new
files with the omegaboard_ prefix
(omegaboard_attach_quota ..... omegaboard_words)
1 new file phpbb_rules
as well as 5 files previously set up and used in a
photo album application (JAlbum)

I dropped the new files and tried again replacing
216.58.174.152 with "localhost" and received the same
error message
Do you have any idea where I might be going astray?

p.s. I note that although I have specified omegaboard_
as the tablename prefix, the table phpbb_rules has been
created without the prefix and the error message
implies that the installation is looking for a table
with the prefix "jimberry." Is this normal?
