    WordPress installed but it did not create the databases. Where in the download package is the create database script? I can install it by importing it.

  • WordPress does not create any database during the installation process. It only populates the database that you created previously with all of the necessary tables and initial entries. Have you reviewed Installing_WordPress?

    I always create two database users – one with the authority to create/delete/edit database tables and the other just to read and write to the databases. I mistakenly used the one that can only read and write to the database instead of the other.

    I received the message that it (WordPress) installed successfully – after – all the “couldn’t create database tables” error messages. So I’m at the login form but can’t login obviously because there isn’t a database table with the admin login information.

    I was hoping to avoid having to delete and reinstall everything by simply importing the create database page from PhpMyAdmin.

    Oh well, back to the beginning.
