• hello pals,

    ive installed a lot of wordpress blogs but this time something strange is happening.

    everything in the config file is correct.

    but when i try to finish the installation i see this message

    ordPress database error: [Access denied for user 'XXX'@'localhost' to database 'XXX']

    …for every file!

    what can i do?

  • Hi,
    I removed your url because I got your install page and didn’t want someone “helping you out”.
    are you still seeing that?
    if so, clear browser cache and site cookies

    thank you.

    yes, i see that. i tried to clear cache, cookies and so on.
    still the same.

    i am putting some blog title, giving an email and when i click on “install wordpress” i see this:

    WordPress database error: [Access denied for user '****'@'localhost' to database '****']
    CREATE TABLE wp_terms ( term_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', slug varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', term_group bigint(10) NOT NULL default 0, PRIMARY KEY (term_id), UNIQUE KEY slug (slug), KEY name (name) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8

    ….and tons more of these…

    ok – you need to add the user to the database with ALL privileges
    here is a guide for cpanel – you can adapt it to whatever control panel you have

    Cool! I got stuck installing WP too, the exact same error. I thought I forgotten to add ALL privileges. Thanks samboll
