ERROR: Error 1005: Can’t create table (errno: 121)

I searched quickly for you, and it brought me here. I quote:

You will get this message if you’re trying to add a constraint with a
name that’s already used somewhere else

To check constraints use the following SQL query:

SELECT
    constraint_name,
    table_name
FROM
    information_schema.table_constraints
WHERE
    constraint_type="FOREIGN KEY"
AND table_schema = DATABASE()
ORDER BY
    constraint_name;

Look for more information there, or try to see where the error occurs. Looks like a problem with a foreign key to me.
