Create Database, still can't install.

  • So I created the MYSQL database from the recommendations and exact code it tells me to make on the wordpress site.

    I do everything to a “T” and even use the local host. Yet when I go to run the install, I put the information in and nothing happens, it spins for a few minutes and then goes to a blank white page. What am I missing? There’s got to be something I’m doing wrong.

  • You may switch on the debugging in your wp-config.php and let us know, if you get any errors.

    Ok, I did this and it still went to a blank page. Any particular area I should put this code? I just put it right after the database information I had to add.

    Actually I just got an error:

    PHP Warning: mysql_connect(): [2002] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not (trying to connect via tcp://localhost:3306) in D:\AimMusicGifts_blog\blog\wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 1034
    PHP Warning: mysql_connect(): A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

    PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\AimMusicGifts_blog\blog\wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 1034

    The database is created, so what could be going on here?

    I have php and mysql running.

    MySQL may be running in another port than the default (3306). This error shows that WordPress (PHP) can not even connect to MySQL. Please check the documentation of your local MySQL server.

    It might also be helpful, if you post this thread in Localhost Installs and get help from others.
