-"The database already exists." - This means the database you are trying to connect to already exists. At this point you can choose to continue regularly by selecting "Continue Normally" or you can choose to "Continue and Reset Database". If you select the first option it is a good idea to define a value for the "$dbprefix" in the "config.php" as discussed in the previous section. This way you do not overwrite any data you have in your database at the present time. If you select the second option, the tables needed will be erased and recreated. DO NOT select to reset if you have data you need in the database you defined in your "config.php" file.
