WordPress database error: [Table ‘blog.wp_options’ doesn’t exist]

    Stuck on Step 1…. I immediately get these errors during Step 1 of the installation process.

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\blog\wp-includes\functions.php on line 355

    WordPress database error: [Table ‘blog.wp_options’ doesn’t exist]
    SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘permalink_structure’

    As you can see it is complaing because when it trys to execute the query it cant because the table it is trying to query doesnt exist. I confirmed that it doesnt exist through MySql client, and phpMyAdmin.

    The config file is correct.. I doubled and triple checked it.. I have gotten phpMyAdmin working with the same values. I have even used a test php script with the values found in config file to actually create the missing table. So the account appears to have to correct permissions to alter database. However I have tried using root account also, and still get same errors. I could manually create all the tables and populate them, but that would be ALOT of work, and if I populate something wrong it could hose the whole install.

    Anyone have ANY ideas or suggestions. How can I debug some of php scripts to find out where/how/why its not creating these tables?

    Thanks!

    my suggestion is to clear all wp tables, remove the wordpress installation, redownload and reupload, and try intalling again.

    what wp_ tables? The install script never created any…

    It looks like the file upgrade-schema.php is the one that has the commands that ‘SHOULD’ create the tables and populate the table wp_options, but I dont know if that file is even being execute or called by the install.php script.

    Actually… I just continued through the warnings and filled in the information – it seems to work now except im getting permissions 403 error when trying to view login page…

    I think that has to do with how directory is setup in IIS..

    Did you ever fix this issue of the errors on the install screen? I’m having the same issues. If I go through and set the blog up it’s really slow. I’m hosting it on a windows platform (iis6, php 4…). Any help would be appreciated.
