Installing Concrete in existing database?

Permalink
Hi,

I'm trying to install concrete on my existing server, but I can only have 2 databases, both of which I already have! Can you tell me how to get it to install in an existing database, and preferably add a prefix of con5_ to each table?

Thanks

that's a very bad idea.
just get a new hosting account from us or Pair.

Pair has said they'll set up c5 for free.

Concrete5 doesn't use prefixes so there is a chance that they will interfere,

if you want to try anyway, make a backup of your db then clear the db install then import the sql file you exported
