I have been trying to set up a local server for the odk by installing the ODK Aggregate v1.3.0 windows-installer.
I have tomcat v6 and mysql already installed in my comp.
I have been following these steps http://code.google.com/p/crossriver-openhds/wiki/OpenDataKitInstallation
unfortunately, when i get to the last step and try to implement the steps below, I get two errors in the command window which I suspect are making me not be able to run the odk aggregate server
Error 1007 ; can't create a database 'odk-prod'; database already exists
Error 1397 ; Operation CREATE USER failed for 'odk_user' @ 'local host'
I expect to have the above statement to be as highlighted in yellow below
what could be the problem?
I would wish to know whether there is an alternative for converting the xml forms with data into csv format on my personal comp.
my comp is running on windows 7

To complete the installation, you need to:
- Execute the mysql (mysql.exe) commandline client using the root account and password (the password you chose during the installation of the database), and supply the
create_db_and_user.sqlto it.
To open the mysql commandline client, open a cmd window (Windows), terminal window (MacOS) or
term window (Linux) and 'cd' to the directory containing the mysql client (mysql.exe on Windows).
Then, please type:
mysql --user root --password
And enter the MySQL server root password. You will then be within the mysql commandline client. You should see a 'mysql>' prompt. Type:
source C:/Users/Karuru/ODK Aggregate/ODK Aggregate/ODK Aggregate/create_db_and_user.sql
exit
Here is what this looks like on Windows, with what you must type in red:

- copy the
ODKAggregate.warto the\webappsdirectory of the Apache
Tomcat installation. - start Apache (if not already started)
- visit http://karuru-pc:8080/ODKAggregate/ and go to the Management / Permissions tab to complete configuring the access rights for ODK Aggregate. NOTE: It may take a few moments for the Apache Tomcat server to detect the ODKAggregate.war; if you get a 404 error, wait a few moments then refresh your browser.
If you want ODKAggregate to be reached at justhttp://Karuru-PC:8080/, you can
rename it to ROOT.war before copying it to the\webappsdirectory.
