 * WordPress requires MySQL 5.0 or higher (5.6 or higher recommended) and is not
   supported over SQL Server: [https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)

 * Hi , if you are using Windows server then try installing WordPress from iis application
   manager and make sure you have installed php 5.6 Express or above and MySQL. 
   After this you need to download phpmyadmin for Windows and run it in iis server
   using username as root and password which you have choose in MySQL while installing.
   Now you need to create Database and user using phpmyadmin
    .
 * I hope this was help full
