Table 'smf21.smf_settings' doesn't exist
Nope. Not sure why we would know, either.
I installed 2.1 Alpha as a spam test site here OK
I'm getting some actual spammer posts now, they even post on the correct board!
Please can you tell me what am missing, according to the instruction, I am to create a Settings_bak.php which is not in the folder, copy the content of Settings.php ans paste it there. I don't know if I am missing any other thing?

They are posting in the collection of spam members board :), see this interesting topic - tomsshoesjourneys no one has been caught with alcohol or been arrested, really? :D
have you read http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/User:Emanuele/guide/How_to_create_an_install_from_repo ?
it sounds like you have not as you dont create a Settings_bak.php or copy anything into Settings.php the install script should do the work for you.
You can find these files in the directory other except for Settings_bak.php, so first thing enter the other directory and copy those files to the root directory. When this is done, make a copy of Settings.php and rename it to Settings_bak.php
so you did not copy the install.php file and the sql files to the main folder?
also you dont need to create the settings_bak.php file you move the Settings.php file to the main folder and let the installer populate the file.
also this forum is not really a place to get smf support as i understand, issues with 2.1 should be posted on sm.org so the developers can help with the issues and fix any bugs that may exist. by posting here you will not get help from the developers and most likely they will miss the bugs that may be posted.
the change to install_2-1_mysql.sql was one word/column. that should not cause the install to fail and the change is in the members table not the settings table.
if you are having issues with the install really using sm.org is the best place to request help so they can track down the issue and fix it in the correct files.
I just saw the test site of SMF 2.1 Alpha release and was impressed, I tried to install it in my local machine using Wamp but have no success, it just say. Don't know the reason for this. I installed another version of SMF and its working. Anyone her got an Ideal?Quote Table 'smf21.smf_settings' doesn't exist
Incidentally I know EXACTLY what caused this because I had to go poking around for something else.
And I have to say, it's sheer fucking incompetence. I left them a comment on Github as to what's wrong and why it's wrong. I don't see how he even tested it.
For those playing along at home, Lab added a feature whereby users can set the registration mode (no registration, immediate registration, member approval etc.) during registration. Except the genius managed to put the query into the code BEFORE THE SETTINGS TABLE IS EVEN MADE.
Now, he's already convinced I'm trolling him (cf. the comments on 2.1's repo from HappyTroglodyte which he thinks is me, when it's not) so I left the commentary here and left merely a factual report plus a suggestion *there*.
Now I've broken the installer in the past, but I wouldn't commit something I clearly couldn't have tested properly (or if I do, I leave a note to t hat effect)
