“Installation: Famous 5-minute install”
HA,
I am new to wordpress and had the same problem. the install left a step out. if you access the main page of your site you may get a better error messagr, I did.
YOU need to create a data base FIRST.
from a Linux command line type:
mysql
mysql>CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
mysql>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* to userid@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’ WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql>quit;
Note: you must change userid and password to real values and use the same values in wp-config.php then do the 5 min install.
It worked for me.
