   I am trying to install WordPress2.7 on my website http://www.huestechnologies.com/site

   I get the following error on the page.

   WordPress database error Table 'newdb.wp_options' doesn't exist for query INSERT INTO wp_options (option_name, option_value, autoload) VALUES ('cron',.....

   I checked the database through PhpMyadmin and found out that there are 10 tables and the table newdb.wp_options contains 30 entries.
   I added these values through PhpMyAdmin.

   Whether I edit the database or not, when I proceed with entering the values given in the error message, I am directed to the page http://www.huestechnologies.com/site/install.php?step=2 which shows error message that the page is not found. While I think the page should be http://www.huestechnologies.com/site/wp-admin/install.php?step=2

   If I enter this url in the browser I get the same error message again.

   If I edit the database then sometimes the installation is shown as complete and I can open the blog, but in that case I can not login to admin because the installation never gets completed properly and there is no user or anything is created. ( only 33 values in the table "newdb.wp_options" and all other tables are empty )

   Before this I have installed around 15 wordpress and never faced any problem. Many of wordpress are running properly on this same server, so I assume there is nothing to do with server settings.

   My server is running Php 5.6.2.

   This is highly frustrating, I am trying to do this for last three days and tried it many many times. I even tried installing WP 2.6.5 but no success.

   Need help desperately.

   Thank you for any support for the problem.

   Just a shot in the dark here but I've never seen, or used, a period in the database prefix such as newdb.wp_ It may not be a problem, but have you tried to create the database with table prefixes like newdb1_ without using the dot? Again, don't know if this could be a problem, but may be worth a look.

   copy a new wp-config.php from wp-config-sample.php
   leave off putting anything in the 3 secure keys - try the install again

   newdb is the database name and wp_options is the name of the table. So newdb.wp_options points to the table wp_admin in database newdb.

   I tried with all three options

   • adding 3 secure keys
   • leaving the value as it is in as it is in wp-config-sample.php and
   • keeping the key area blank

   But no difference.

   I tried clean install again with WP 2.7. I generated 4 security keys at http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/

   Now the database error is gone.
   Now when I run
   http://www.huestechnologies.com/site/wp-admin/install.php

   I get http://www.huestechnologies.com/site/wp-admin/install.php?step=2
   but the page shows nothing except WordPress logo.

   No Samboll, I did not get it. Blog is available at http://www.huestechnologies.com/site/ , but I can not log in to admin. The installation does not get completed.

   I do not have any login info to log in. Even providing email address which I used while installation does not help to retrieve the password, because wordpress is not installed properly.

   I created a user in wp-user table through phpmyadmin and when I try to login at http://www.huestechnologies.com/site/wp-admin/ using the newly created login I get a message

   You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

   I will try to do clean install again today.

   It looks like some file which I was uploading was corrupt somehow.
   I downloaded fresh copy, and started all over again and now I got it without any problem.
   Thank you Samboll and figaro for looking into the problem.
