Installation didn’t complete

    Setting up a dev environment on localhost. I’m using latest version of XAMPP. Everything was going peachy. Apache and MySQL services were running. Created User and database on MySQL. I modified the wp_config.php as described, added keys and salts and started. WordPress installation started, I selected language and the Welcome page appeared. I filled out the information on title, username, password, email and hit install. It then went into Step 2 where the screen said something like “technical difficulties on this site” and hung. After about 20 min, (this is my first install)
    I tried going to the admin screen, but it knows nothing of my username, password or email. Help! I’m using the username, password and email I used on the first welcome screen not the database username/password if your asking.

    Thanks
    Dan

    Are you installing WordPress 5.2? And what is your PHP version?

    Yes,the latest. I installed the Xampp windows version 7.3.5 with PHP 7.3.5 included.

    I figured out the problem. In the wp_config.php the database was named wp-vs-52 and the $table_prefix was wp_vs_52. Apparently, it doesn’t like that.
    Thanks again for the fast response. It appears to be working.
