No wp table created in new database.

  • I’m using a Godaddy “free” shared server site which means they do not do any automated installs. Created a new database for the wp program, installed the wp zipped file in subdirectory, configured via the wp configuration. When I try to connect the wp program to the database, it comes up with an error. I checked the myphp database and there are no tables in it. How do I install a new wp table in the database?

    Thank you in advance.

  • Just unpack the zip from the WordPress site in your ftp-space and start the installation from your own website. Fill out the database-informationpage and it will then automatically install the neccesary tables in the database. Make sure there are write-permissions on the folder where the wp-config is installed.

    I’ll give that a try. Unpacked in the subdirectory and installed database but it did not insert tables. I’ll check the permissions on the folder.

    Tables are inserted into the database by the wp-admin/install.php program which you run from a web browser via https://

    It should help you sort out the error message you are getting. Most common error is getting the database user/password wrong, by confusing it with the WordPress username/password or host account/Control Panel user/password.

    Make sure that your database doesnt exceed 50MB or else the tables might not be created.

    You might have to install via Putty or another terminal program if it does.
