Hi @Aparna Appam ,

Welcome to the community :)

Seems the database you've selected does already have the confluence schema in it. If that's not required, then best is to delete the confluence schema (whole db tables) and start the installation again. (ONLY IN CASE THE DATABASE YOU'VE SELECTED IS NOT IN USE ELSEWHERE).

Hi, after upgrading to 7.19.16 I got this error.  We can't delete the schema because its production. Is there somewhere in the database that triggers this to setup a new database? I need confluence to use the existing database.  Kindly please help because this issue is blocking us for a week now.
