 * I’m a total novice to WP
    I’ve followed the instructions very closely (several
   times). Everything is on the server. I’ve run the install program [http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php](http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php)(
   with my correct details) I install all the information it asks for to set up 
   the wp-config.php file and the system reports that it has connection to the server.
   I follow to the next step with the title ” Welcome to the famous five minute 
   WordPress installation process” and I add all the information required. I click
   the Install wordpress option at the bottom of the page. A page then comes up 
   with a series of errors starting with ” WordPress database error: [CREATE command
   denied to user ‘username’@’XX.XX.XXX.XXX’ for table ‘wp_users’]” I have verified
   that the database username is correct. I have not got a clue where this ip address
   comes from as it is not mine and not the ip address of the database. At the bottom
   of this page it claims that the install is a success and invites me to “Log In”
   it then brings me back to the previous page. I have replaced all the installation
   files and manually configured the ” wp-config.php” file. I get the same results.
   Any help appreciated

 * I would contact your hosting provider. They should be able to pinpoint the problem.

 * I think I have messed up and I can not see how I can recover the error? Can someone
   please help?
 * The site is at [http://hussars.org/main/?page_id=2/](http://hussars.org/main/?page_id=2/)
 * What I did: the search engine was working for some reason and I thought is was
   because my home page was not address as /wp/? I went into WordPress Address (
   URL) and changed it so the seach engine would look from the home page I have 
   that being: [http://hussars.org/main/?page_id=2/](http://hussars.org/main/?page_id=2/),
   now it thinks the login is at [http://hussars.org/main/?page_id=2/wp-login.php](http://hussars.org/main/?page_id=2/wp-login.php)
   and the whole page set up is mess up and I seem unable to login and revert that
   change? Can anyone please help??

 * [@krhussar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krhussar/), please post your 
   own thread instead of interrupting Andrew Grundy’s. That’s considered impolite
   here.
