Options Table does not exist, so login impossible

I second this … ! Any info appreciated… will keep looking through past posts!

If the table doesn’t exist it means you haven’t installed WordPress yet. Run install.php.

when i run install.php for the first time, i get this in the top of the 1st screen:
SQL/DB Error:
[Table ‘wordpress.wp_options’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT option_name, option_value FROM wp_options

well , i tried the latest nightbuild and now the table eror gone… but still i cant login!!!

I get the same error.
1. cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php
2. Edit it appropriately and save
3. Go to website and am told install.php has not run yet. I click it and get:
SQL/DB Error:
[Table ‘wordpress.wp_options’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT option_name, option_value FROM wp_options

(I posted the above anonymously)
I pushed through the steps for the install just fine. The error goes away after step 3 or so once the DB is setup. I was able to login and I see no more errors.

I ran into this and took a look at the code. Ignore the errors – they are just warnings, merely confirming that WP is not installed in the database you are working with — kinda silly to report *good* errors when infact all they are are confirmations that everything is going well.
