still waiting 4 some much needed help.
I have a simmilar problem? Is it mistake from the mySqL server version?
Well, my servers is hosted in an H-Sphere enviroment with:
- MySQL client version: 4.1.15
- PHP version 5.1.6
which satisfies the requirements.
I believe this is a legitimate issue that deserves some support from the WP experts. So pls. help us.
All the best.
Make sure your Mysql user account (much different from the WordPress admin setup) has the proper mysql privileges to create db and tables; Read the installation instructions and don’t skip anything.
Please understand that the wp-config.php info is for Mysql use and has nothing to do with you WordPress admin account or Blog title or blog set up.

The Mysql user has all the perviliges. I’ve read them & i didn’t skip a darn thing.
“Please understand that the wp-config.php info is for Mysql use and has nothing to do with you WordPress admin account or Blog title or blog set up.”
I know that. I didn’t say that it did. The problem is probably in the PHP code that is not taking my submitted Blog title into account nor it is creating the admin user in the database as expected.
After more research I found the following thread with the similar problem for an earlier release of WP:

This could solve this problem for some people. It did NOT solve it for me, though 🙁 but i think i’m getting closer to the problem… help anyone?
Waiting still… with hope…
Everyday, I’ll b here. Posting until I get support.
My error. I though your installation failed and you had a real problem.
Go to Admin->Options and change it the blog title. If that doesn’t work you have an incomplete or bad install or a unreliable host.
Admin user and email is something of a box of mystery. Your host email account has to be set up perfectly.
Hi ccoupe,
I can’t login to the admin section. Because the admin user has not been generated during the installation. Also, when i try 2 add him manually thru phpMyAdmin i get a message that says I’m not authorized!
Here is a temporary solution until they actually fix it!
Precisely the same problem here, tables are created in the database, but the installer hangs and never sends me the mail.
I had this problem, I am running Wamp 1.7.0 with WordPress 2.2, so if you’re not setting up a blog on your local machine but using a proper webhost instead the following fix may not be much use to you.
Anyway, I found that the wait after submitting step 1 was just over 30 seconds, so in the php.ini file I found a likely culprit, doubling the ‘max_execution_time’ setting from 30 to 60. Then I restarted Wamp, created a new database, and tried the WordPress install.php again.
That works for me, ie I get the full page with the admin and password details without altering core WordPress files or MySQL bugs.
