Installs fine, accessing login page gives me an error

How did you upload all WP files? It’s advisable that you download the zip version and decompress it at the destination with File Manager to make sure no single file will go missing.

The script had an error or it did not produce any output. If there was an error, you should be able to see it in the error log.

What does the error log say? This should tell you where the problem is.

This is the error I see:
WordPress database error Table ‘japultra_install_1201573825.wp_terms’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT t.*, tt.*, tr.object_id FROM wp_terms AS t INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS tt ON tt.term_id = t.term_id INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships AS tr ON tr.term_taxonomy_id = tt.term_taxonomy_id WHERE tt.taxonomy IN (‘category’, ‘post_tag’) AND tr.object_id IN (1) ORDER BY t.name ASC
WordPress database error Table ‘japultra_install_1201573825.wp_terms’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT t.*, tt.* FROM wp_terms AS t INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS tt ON tt.term_id = t.term_id INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships AS tr ON tr.term_taxonomy_id = tt.term_taxonomy_id WHERE tt.taxonomy IN (‘post_tag’) AND tr.object_id IN (1) ORDER BY t.name ASC
WordPress database error Table ‘japultra_install_1201573825.wp_terms’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT t.*, tt.*

I’m not sure why it’s referencing that database. I have it set to:

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘japultra_wp_3’); // The name of the database

japultra_install_1201573825 is database for another blog I have on the same domain (different directory).

Can anyone shed some light on what’s going on?

WordPress did not install correctly. wp_terms is one of the tables required in the db and in your case it is not there or is corrupted.

What I would do is delete all the files and reinstall.

I already tried this, but do you know why it’s referencing a database that it shouldn’t be? Someone told me it was a problem specific to my host. I am currently on the phone with them now.

OK, I feel like an idiot, but I gave the wrong error message from the wrong part of the error log. The correct error message is:

LIMIT 1
WordPress database error Table ‘japultra_jenie.wp_options’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT option_name, option_value FROM wp_options WHERE autoload = ‘yes’
WordPress database error Table ‘japultra_jenie.wp_options’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT option_name, option_value FROM wp_options
WordPress database error Table ‘japultra_jenie.wp_options’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘cron’ LIMIT 1
WordPress database error Table ‘japultra_jenie.wp_options’ doesn’t exist for query SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘siteurl’

This is only a snippet of it as the whole error was very long. I think it might have repeated itself. I’m on the phone with the host and they’re trying to figure out the problem also so the error message might have been recorded a few times.

OK, I spent two hours on the phone. The CSR claimed she didn’t do anything on her end except “reset the password”, but I finally got it to work. It took me creating four different databases and installing new copies about 6 times. I did the same thing each and every time and it suddenly decided to work.

wp_options is one of the tables needed for wp to work. Somehow it was messed up.

Glad it started working!

I have this same error message.
Unfortunately I do not know where to go to check ‘error log’.
Can you help?
thanks.
