Okay I've done all of that, on a new mirrrored site. gom.streetlegalmods.com

I uploaded a fresh copy of Genoa 6.25 on the ftp, uploaded my datbase to a new database and made sure it was 6.25 updated.

Then I connected to that datbase in the config file, made sure all was well. 

The site worked perfectly, of course no extra plugins were there...

I then dropped Siena files over the Genoa in ftp... then I dropped legacy files over all of that... then I chmodded the config to 666.

Went to install.php and it loaded for a quite a while, which is good im guessing.

Then we have these errors here..

not NEARLY as many as before, thankfully.

I'm assuming that this needs to be fixed first before anything can happen? IT seems the config.php has not been modifed by the installer script since its still showing the old genoa stuff like "default_skin" and not "default_theme" etc...

I shouldn't try to edit the config sample to make it work right? I should find out how to fix the above errors first I am assuming?

it looks like its saying there is a blank table name in line 568 of the database.php but im not sure what to do with that, and if i fix that, am i supposed to do something with the errors below that?

Of course I am wrong, because in the file this is what I see

        catch (PDOException $err)
        {
            if ($this->_parseError($err, $err_code, $err_message))
            {
                cot_diefatal('SQL error ' . $err_code . ': ' . $err_message);
            }
        }

So how to go and fix the error im not sure if there was something else I was to do
