It looks too as if you need to ask them to activate the db and pass you the details. If you do have a mySQL database – no other – and you really are stuck I’ll have a go for you if you email me enough information to access your hosting account. t2 @ tamba2. org . uk * [Myword](https://wordpress.org/support/users/myword/) * (@myword) * [20 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-database-error-1-2-3-4/#post-221235) * The package is platinum and they are adamant there is nothing for them to do.. no activation required…windows platform..database is mySQL..Thanks for the offer.. I’ll try the installation again from scratch and see what happens.
