Install error when DB user already exists

Hi Peter,

Thanks for reaching out to support with your issue. I have seen this before, but I've personally always considered this error to be "my fault" haha! You bring up a great point though, YF goes through the trouble to make sure the DB connection parameters on this page are correct, and gives you the option to fix them before a potential installation failure.

I would expect a similar check for the Create User action - check the DB to make sure the Administrator user has the right permissions to create a user/db (which I've also seen fail), and that the DB user account to create does not currently exist in the system.

I actually see the first part of that process (user permissions check) as an existing enhancement in our system, but not your particular issue of the existing DB user check. So I think I will need to make an enhancement request to devs, to look into adding this functionality into a future version. Does this sound like a good way forward here?

Thanks, Eric

Hi Eric

Thanks for your reply and yes that sound like the way forward :-)

Best regards Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for confirming that for me. I've gone ahead and created a developer task to look into including this functionality in a future version. Updates to the task will be provided here as they are available. I will in turn mark this ticket as Idea Logged. Feel welcome to reply here with any related inquiries.

Thanks, Eric
