I tried your suggestions, but now I'm scared ...

I did a webmail-install and was asked about the mysql connection and as
I wanted to make an update and there is no documentation what might be
special ... I answered all settings for my current installation.


OMG: What's this:

Writing main configuration file... done.

Creating database tables...


WHat tables are created? Will my old system work after this isntallation?

Or do I have to set up a second database for the new installation? If
so, how is the data from my current installation copied or merged or
what ever?


Thanks and best regards . Götz
