What is this error: WordPress database error: [INSERT command denied to user

  • I have created a mysql database and made changes to the config.php page and gave my user name full priveleges, and when I go to the link, it does install the tables, HOWEVER, it throws out a bunch of denied errors for my user name such as the one below:

    WordPress database error: [INSERT command denied to user ‘Jeffw73’@’lsh215.lsh.chicago’ for table ‘wp_options’]
    INSERT INTO wp_options (option_name, option_value, autoload) VALUES (‘blogname’, ‘My Blog’, ‘yes’)

    At the bottom it brags saying “SUCCESS!” yet if I click on the Log In button, it just takes me back to the installation page again. The thing is, I DO HAVE ALL permissions set for the user name associated with this database and I do have the user name and password correct. So what could I possibly be missing still? Help!!!

    OK, I think I figured out why, and it’s quite sad. Turns out that WordPress requires a Windows platform and I am on Linnix. I would migrate it to Windows, but I have another blog that requires the mysql which they apparently do not support on a Word platform. So either I use a different hosting company or a different blog application I guess. Booo!

    that would be quite wrong – wordpress works best on linux.
    How are you installing to get that user name? A basic install does not give the option to have a user name – it assigns “admin”.
    If you are using your host’s one click install – put in a ticket – it’s what you pay them for
