 * Try giving your database user (DB_USER in your wp-config.php file) all the rights
   to the database.

 * I did that. The database user I created has DBA rights granted. I believe that’s
   the highest because the other two are “read” and “read/write”. I’m assuming here
   that DBA is database administrator.

 * is there anyone that knows what i could do? i have tried unchecking and checking
   all options. reverting back to defaults, etc. i don’t know why this thing doesn’t
   want to work. at one point before i ran into this issue it was working perfectly
   but now i get these error messages. deleting folders and files doesn’t fix anything.
   neither does deleting the database and database user. i’m all out of ideas. if
   someone could please help me out i would greatly appreciate it.

 * I am having the same problem. I have verified that the mysql user has full access
   to the database, I’ve changed the mysql user password repeatedly to ensure the
   password I’m typing into the config file is correct.
 * This is a fresh install of the program, not an upgrade.
 * MySQL 4.1.22
    php 5.2.0
 * Have you been able to solve this problem?

   wp-admin/install.php I receive the following error: “WordPress database error
   Table ‘kaluana.wp_options’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT option_value FROM wp_options
   WHERE option_name = ‘siteurl’ …”
 * Some sugestion?!
