    This is the first time I have ever tried to set up a blog and I have got myself very confused. I have tried searching through existing help topics and got more confused and slightly worried that I might get a nasty reply (I’m a beginner, everybody was once, so please be nice)

    I’ve uploaded the WordPress files through my FTP (Firefox) with the ‘config’ file altered as necessary. I got to the page with the ‘Name your blog’ and ‘Email’ fields which I filled in and then received a page full of errors along the lines of

    WordPress database error: [CREATE command denied to user ‘********’@’213.***.**.**’ for table ‘wp_terms’]

    and

    WordPress database error: [CREATE command denied to user ‘********’@’213.***.**.**’ for table ‘wp_term_taxonomy’]

    My guess is some sort of problem with the files I uploaded but I just don’t know where to begin.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Assuming that you’ve supplied the right username, password, and database name; this isn’t a problem with your files. Your database user doesn’t have permission, essentially, to create a tables. You need to talk to your web-host. Without ‘create table’ privileges the DB is virtually useless.

    Your Mysql database user doesn’t have enough privileges to perform database operations (i.e. create ). Assigning the required privileges should fix your problem.
