 * All good people, I solved this problem and man it feels great knowing you have
   conquered so many barriers hahaha lol.
 * I’m not sure if somebody already posted a solution to this error but I am willing
   to explain everything.
 * Ok..here we go.
 * If you have entered the correct config.php info then all you need is this last
   step to install wordpress.
 * 1. The reason why I was getting this error was because my database privileges
   only had one selected which was the ‘select’ name. I have no idea what they all
   mean so I looked at one of my other database and noticed that it was all checked.
 * Here are the list privileges from my Web Host. Not sure if its the same for every
   Host.
 * Privilege name:
    > grant > drop > update > create > alter > index > insert > 
   delete
 * I’m not sure if all of them have to be checked, but I did it at my first go and
   installation was a success!
 * Well, I hope this helps someone in the future.
 * CHEERS 🙂
