    When using WPI to load WordPress, I get the following message:

    We’re Sorry. The following products have failed to install.
    WordPress
    This product did not install successfully: The database ‘wordpress’
    could not be created. Acess denied for user “root@localhost’ (using
    password: YES)

    When I try running wp-admin/install.php, Dreamweaver is opened and the following message is displayed: Error: PHP is not running.

    Thanks — Dave

    Review this Codex page.

    esmi,

    Thanks for the help, but I’m still stuck. I tried following the instructions on the Codex page but I wasn’t getting all the responses. I’m running windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

    I think/hope the problem is something simple like stuff in the wrong directory or a parameter not set correctly.

    I was Web Platform Installer 2.0 to set up my IIS environment. It looks OK, but I still get the php not running message.

    Thanks — Dave

    Don’t know if this is related – I just had same error (using CPanel) and I activated MySQL and it loaded fine. It’s as if it can’t create the database.

    Hope this helps in some way.

    Mike,

    How do you activate MsSQL?

    Thanks — Dave

    I’m still stuck after losing a week and lots of hours trying to do something that was said to be straight forward. Yes, I am frustrated.

    I’m running windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

    I used Web Platform Installer 2.0 to set up my IIS environment. It says all the stuff is there and I can run the “Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager” from the start menu

    I have php running and can open “localhost/phpinfo.php” from my broswer.

    MySQL appears to be running OK. Using task manager I can see the MySQL service is running.

    When using WPI to load WordPress, I get the following message:

    “We’re Sorry. The following products have failed to install.
    WordPress This product did not install successfully: The database ‘wordpress’ could not be created. Acess denied for user “root@localhost’ (using password: YES)”

    I have no idea where the YES password is coming from.

    I downloaded the wordpress-3.0-IIS.zip file and unzipped it into the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wordpress dircetory. When I try running wp-admin/install.php, Dreamweaver is opened and the following message is displayed: Error: PHP is not running.

    I think the wordpress db and db user has not been correctly created.

    Please help me sort this stuff out.

    Thanks — Dave
