    Hello, I’ve been having an issue installing wordpress on my new virtual dedicated server account. I upload all of the files and change the info in wp_config.php but when I point my browser to /wp-admin/install.php, this error shows up right below the Install WordPress button

    WordPress database error Table 'wordpressdb.wp_options' doesn't exist for query INSERT INTO wp_options (option_name, option_value, autoload) VALUES ('cron', 'a:2:{i:1219738847;a:1:{s:17:\"wp_update_plugins\";a:1:{s:32:\"40cd750bba9870f18aada2478b24840a\";a:3:{s:8:\"schedule\";s:10:\"twicedaily\";s:4:\"args\";a:0:{}s:8:\"interval\";i:43200;}}}s:7:\"version\";i:2;}', 'yes') made by add_option

    Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated

    I got this same error this morning in a similar hosted install situation. After poking around in the code for a bit, it seems you can safely ignore it and continue with the installation. You’ll get another message like this on the next screen (or the next…), but if you keep going, the tables get created successfully and the installation succeeds without a problem.

    Go figure. I might dig deeper and try to find the cause of the “false-positive” in the code someday …
