Re:Re: DROP USER - cannot drop a user that is currently con.

Hi List,

I found the problem - a buggy installation wizard :-(

During pre-install checks the wizard checked for existing tables - As the wizad found one the problem was a remaining connection of user OPENCMS.

So I run the wizard up to the check, looked for active sessions and killed them. After that I could proceed installing my CMS...

thanx too all

Mat
