    I am trying to get a WP install working, but I’m getting stopped at step 2. It appears that the db table creation is failing. I end up with 1 table only and the webpage that is returned has only the WP logo.

    I’ve seen a lot of posts about this but no solution.

    I’ve tried dropping the database and starting over, but no joy. Same failed results.

    Any solutions to this problem?

    I’m running the latest XAMPP on Windows Server 2008.

    Does your specified db user have full db privileges?

    Yes. I have tried both root and another user with full privs.

    Regardless of whether the user has the right privs or not the software should NOT fail like this. If the user is not configured right then an error message to that effect should be given.

    In my case it just flat fails. From the Apache error logs it looks like some child process is crashing, maybe Apache, but the log messages are less than clear.
