Trying to "add user" in phpmyadmin

I have phpmyamin 3.5.8.2 installed on my hosting provider.

Assuming you also have cPanel, try looking for MySQL Databases. In my own case, that is where MySQL Users can be added and assigned to databases.

I have the database, but no tables. I don’t want to bother with tables, this is a blog.

WordPress will make the tables during installation, and it matters not whether the installation is considered a blog.

Please mention the name of your hosting provider. If you are accessing your host using a cpanel they must have a fantastico or quick install option from that option you can easily install wordpress.

you don’t need to configure WordPress manually if you are not transferring a previous installation.

need more help please contact with me over this link.

My hosting provider is Wedos:

https://hosting.wedos.com/en/

There is no cpanel nor any quick install option. I have to do it myself.

How can I add user in phpmyadmin?

Thanks!

@leejosepho, I can’t run the install script. I get his message:

Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?

If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

I mean: this message

I do not know what to suggest other than contacting your host to ask how you can either install a working copy of WordPress or access whatever might be needed in order to do a manual installation. Also, and while hoping to not offend Talukdar Galib: Solicitation is not permitted here in these forums, and I would suggest you do not accept any.

In your PHPMYADMIN you will have a “privileges” tab, lower down on that page there is “Add a new user”, be sure to connect your new user to your database and grant them all privileges on it.

Thanks Ross, but I don’t have any privileges tab. What else can I do?

Once you select a database on the left, you will get a row of tabs along the top, they are like:
Structure, SQL, Search, Query, Import, Export, Privileges, Tracking, More

Maybe it will be under MORE

If not, then which version of phpmyadmin are you running ?

If you are using cPanel, then there is the “MySQL Databases” as well

My god, I got it installed.

Adding a user was not the problem after all, it was the wp-config file.

I re-uploaded wp-config-sample.php to:

zamborination.com/domains/www/

and then I was able to run the install script for wordpress.

My hosting provider has it set for that weird location.

What I’m wondering now is, will I be able to put my main website in
the root directory?

Sorry, I’m a total beginner.

Thanks everyone for your help.

The root directory for your server account and the “root” of anything you install there are not the same, and it seems ‘zamborination.com/domains/www/’ is apparently the shortest path your server has for sending ‘zamborination.com’ anywhere. So since you will likely not be able to move WordPress any higher, check with your host about re-assigning ‘zamborination.com’ all the way out to the /www/ directory so WordPress can begin with ‘zamborination.com/index.php’ rather than ‘zamborination.com/domains/www/index.php’. At my own host, that is done either via cPanel or with htaccess.

Thank you!
