I installed 3.1.0 on my Ubuntu OS, liked it a lot, then made some goofs (long story) & decided to “fix” it by removing it, then re-installing. (Not my most shining moment.)
Anyhoo, I try to re-install (from the 1-click method), but the installer tells me that
“MySQL user ‘openemr’ already exists”
and then it aborts the process.
Please tell me what i need to do to delete the old MySQL user, and whatever else needs to be done so that I can successfully re-install.
Actually, I *did* delete openEMR successfully (using the dpkg-r command returns theresponse that “ignoring request to remove openemr which isn’t installed”
My problem is that now I want to do a fresh install and when I try to do so, I get the error message that
“Mysql user ‘openemr’ already exists.”
So, I would like to know how to delete this user so that I can proceed. (And, no, i don’t know much about mysql)
FYI - Anybody with this same issue in Windows, simply go to Control Panel - Admin - Services and delete the Apache and MySQL services if they are there, and you should be set to go.
