I have the same issue. The only thing Ive managed to do is add a redirect to the main link’s page, that forwards on to the catagory page. This has an annoying refresh though which I dont want.

k Ive recieved a different error now,

“ERROR: [% table_prefix %]_ in wp-config.php can only contain numbers, letters, and underscores.”

Thats what I get now when I run the install.php though my browser.

yep, it has myUsername@localhost in the database the WP script created.

It does say “no tables found in database” though which Im not sure about.

ya, it is. Both the database and the username have my ftp login name in front of the names the script creates. Ive tried with and without aswell just in case.

that is correct. At first I used the install pack I downloaded from the WP web site. That had exactly the same results. Id edit the wp-config.php file with the appropriate info and get an error page.

Thats why I contacted my host and they gave me the script to run through cPanel.

Mine looks like:

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘myDataBase’); // The name of the database

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘myUsername’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxxxx’); // …and password

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

Didnt have to ?? . When I run the install script my host provided me, it creates a database, a user, and uploads the WP database to the correct directory, with wp-config/php already renamed.

Ive been onto phpMyAdmin and it can see the new database that was created by the WP script.

Im stumped.

Hi, Ive been trying to install WP over the last couple of days and had the same problem. I asked a friend at work today about that error message and he said it was a result of trying to access a PHP doc through the ftp address. Resulting in it bypassing the front end browser bit that deals with PHP through a standard www web address. So when I try to access the install.php through https://www.mydomain/wordpress/install.php for eg. I get the Error establishing a database connection page as opposed to a page of text mixed with PHP code.

Doesnt really help the situation but seemed to clear up what was happening.
