pre-installation query

  • I am trying to install WordPress in our hosted web server. Already asked our hosting provider about compatibility issues with PhP, MySQL and Apache versions and was assured that there is no problem.

    Using phpMyAdmin, I checked and found a database named in our account. But it says that we don’t have privileges to create a new database, which is required for the blog installation (as specified in the detailed instructions). The technical support staff also told me that we can have as many tables as we want but they all have to be in the same database.

    How do I go about this now?

  • Don’t worry nothing has gone wrong. Are you sure your db_name is correct? Sometimes the shared hosting provides add a username prefix to the db_name.

    For example, when I created my db name as wordpress, the db name turned out to be: ckunte_wordpress. If you’re still in doubt about the name, try check with your host.
