      I found this on 3.1-dev but I'm pretty sure it affects 3.0 also.

      Trying to install phpbb into a database that already has a phpbb install (with a different table prefix, naturally) produces on create_table (http://localhost/boards/y1/install/index.php?mode=install&sub=create_table) step:

      A fatal and unrecoverable database error has occurred. This may be because the specified user does not have appropriate permissions to CREATE TABLES or INSERT data, etc. Further information may be given below. Please contact your hosting provider in the first instance or the support forums of phpBB for further assistance.

      ERROR: type "varchar_ci" already exists
