Installation

  • I’m using the Windows installer for WordPress 3.0.1. Everything succeeds but it says it cannot create the database. I am installing this on a fresh build of Windows 2008 Server R2. Here is the error:

    [7:21:605]The database ‘wordpress’ could not be created.
    Retrying operation ‘Add’ on object dbMySql (server=localhost;database=wordpress;uid=root;allow user variables=True). Attempt 5 of 5.
    Details:
    originalMessage: The database ‘wordpress’ could not be created.
    operationType: Add
    retryAttempt: 5
    retryCount: 5

  • At a rough guess you don’t have permissions in MySQL, though I see the uid is root, which is not a very good idea.

    Can you create the directory manually then pass the details to wordpress install as part of the normal procedure?
