Database error when installing

    Hi guys,
    when I install WP locally (XAMPP) I get an error:

    WordPress database error: [Got error ‘this version of PCRE is compiled without UTF support at offset 0’ from regexp]
    DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name REGEXP ‘^rss_[0-9a-f]{32}(_ts)?$’

    But underneath this error message it also says “SUCCESS, WordPress has been installed…” as it is supposed to.

    What do I do with the error?

    Thanks
    Kasper

    I get this too. I moved over to XAMPP a few weeks back but haven’t installed WP on it. I tried it today and met with the same error and message.

    I also noticed too that I have to manually load the wp-config file which I never had to do before. I might move over to AMPPS for the time being to see if i get the same results.

    Unfortunately I cannot offer a solution at this time.

    I just tried it in AMPPS. It shows no error. So give AMMPS a try.

    Thanks lance1572, I’ll give it a try. But I have a lot of projects within the XAMPP setup, so I’m a bit worried, that something will go wrong if I use AMPPS instead.

    Do you think that AMPPS is better or as good as XAMPP? I only use XAMPP for WP sites, so no need for crazy features and config options.
