phpMyAdmin – priviledges not available

  • Hi,

    I am following the instructions to set up a new database and user…
    I initially used mySQL to do so as I could not find ‘create database’ in my phpmyAdmin.

    After I created a database and a new user, I changed the wp-config file and uploaded everything to my root folder. When I try and run the installation though I get an error saying it cannot connect to the database.

    So I am now retracing my steps back to phpmyAdmin where I can now see I have created this database called 123_blog. But the instrcutions tell me to click on ‘priviledges’but I do not have that option.

    how should I proceed to solve this problem?

    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Sounds like phpmyadmin is not connecting with a user that has the ability to grant permissions on your database.

    how would I go about fixing that? where do I start?

    did you create a user with full privileges for your database and then pass that information to the wp-config?

    and by the way: “create a new database” is on the front page of phpmyadmin…

    It’s literally right there in front of you as soon as you open your phpmyadmin.

    The privileges option is per database in phpmyadmin, so have you selected your wordpress database first?
