That user really needs FULL permissions. It needs to be able to create new tables.</p> <p>Then I would suggest re-installing Gravity Forms.</p> <p>If this issue happens again then you may need to contact your web host. That is a database error related to columns not existing. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/database-error-after-activation#post-40527 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 18:37:32 +0000 crowinck 40527@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Also, please consider using a generic avatar that is gender neutral. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/database-error-after-activation#post-40526 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 18:33:21 +0000 crowinck 40526@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I just installed and activated the plugin for the first time on our development site, and got these errors (I replaced someone of the actual info with what it was in brackets):</p> <p>WordPress database error: [Table '[subdomain]_[domain]_c.[prefix]_rg_form_meta' doesn't exist]<br /> SHOW INDEX FROM [prefix]_rg_form_meta WHERE Key_name='form_id'</p> <p>WordPress database error: [Table '[subdomain]_[domain]_c.[prefix]_rg_lead_detail_long' doesn't exist]<br /> SHOW INDEX FROM [prefix]_rg_lead_detail_long WHERE Key_name='lead_detail_key'</p> <p>The site is in WordPress 3.2.1 on a server with PHP 5.3 and MySQL 5.</p> <p>Do you know what this is? </p>
