4. Create database wordpress and modified the database property in the wp-config.php.
And you created a DB user, or you have one with sufficient priviledges, right?
Also, there are four database variables that need to go into wp-config.php– ‘DB_NAME’,’DB_USER’,’DB_PASSWORD’, and ‘DB_HOST’. You have them all setup? Just double checking. I think you probably should have them setup or you’d be getting a DB error.
But in the second step, I can not see any information about the default admin account noticed in some tutorials but a message indicated that wp is installed, if reinstall pls delete the old database tables… In the database, the wp-users table is empty…
Something should be in wp_users. Delete the tables and try again. You have nothing to lose at this point. If it doesn’t work, try logging in to MySQL using the login/pass in wp-config and see if you can manually create tables and insert into them. I’m wondering if maybe your mysql user doesn’t have the right permissions.

I use root as database user.
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'root');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'root');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
Today, I encountered another problem, in the first step , I input Blog title and email , click “Installed wordpress”…then popup “install.php” for downloading.
When I click installed button again, it go to step2 and indicate
Already Installed
You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.
The result is same with before entry, the tables are created and this is no record in the wp_users tables…

I encountered joomla installation problem today… It also failed.
In the joomla community, many complaints about the compatibility with PHP 5.3.
I do not know this problem was caused by PHP 5.3….
… then popup “install.php” for downloading
So, you tried to install and the browser tried to download install.php? That seems to indicate a server configuration problem. See if any of these threads help. But, I have to say, your case is weird, since your first post seems to indicate that PHP works. You may have some corrupt or missing files in your WP install. It wouldn’t hurt download a fresh set of files.
@ hantsy,
PHP 5.3 is incompatible with Joomla, or PHP 5.3 is incompatible with Fedora 12?

Fedora 12 update php to 5.3 …
The installation of wordpress and joomla failed.

Yes, it is weird…
No doubt php works, I also install other PHP application.
“install.php” popup for downloading sometime means the “install.php” file content type setting is incorrect.
I want to know if the wordpress 2.8.6 have been fully test on PHP 5.3???

Maybe wordpress 2.8.6 is not compatible with PHP 5.3…
Today I installed it into my ubuntu(in virtualbox) which has a php 5.2 environment, it works well.
sounds like there is an old db in there, create a new db and then use the name of the new db during setup.
in mysql you would do
>create database name_of_new_db
then use name_of_new_db in the install wizard

Hi,alexl9
I tried this many times in Feodra 12, but all got failure.
Some people have had luck with setting the DB_HOST parameter in wp-config.php to a ‘hostname:port_number’ pair, like:
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost:3306');
You might need to change hostname or MySQL port number.
