install.php doesn’t make database tables (?)

    Hi !
    I’m trying to install WP 2.5 – this is my first install of WP, so maybe I’m doing something wrong… After filling wp-config.php I’m accessing install.php, and then I’m getting ‘no page found’ info. When I put wrong info in config (ie. non-existing db name), the install.php returns info about wrong data. So the path is good, and install is where it should be. Next, I turned on error logging on php, and it says that when I’m trying to run install.php “WordPress database error Table ‘wordpress.wp_options’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT blahblahblah”. So the tables aren’t created, and now is my question – why, and what can I do ? php have privileges to create tables on mysql (I think), and mysql doesn’t turn any error log… 🙁

    Thanks for quick respond. I’ve already read that – I have database, but script doesn’t make any tables in it.

    Thanks for helping, I really appreciate it. I made new database, exacly like it is written at step 2, and still install.php doesn’t do anthing – no tables, no error, only 404. I’ll try reinstall mysql and php, maybe that will help 🙂

    Ok, I’ve fixed my problem.

    After changing php and mysql nothing changed, so I checked Apache log and found mysterious alert about heap. Google said it was generated by Suhosin patch for php. And that was it 🙂 New Suhosin fixed my problem, thanks for help Kmessinger !
