Hi,

I just installed bbPress and on STEP TWO I got a screen with the error below. I’m not a programmer or anything, I just know basic HTML and that’s it, so I don’t know where to look for a way to fix this. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to fix this? Or is there a service where I can pay to have this fixed and running smoothly? Thanks!

Second Step



Now we’re going to create the database tables and fill them with some default data.

It would seem that it didn’t work from the errors because your database user doesn’t have the proper permissions to create tables. You will need to update the permissions of the database user and then run the script again! Once the permissions are set right, it will install easy for you!

Thanks for the advice!

I’m using Yahoo Webhosting Services. I looked around, and I don’t see where to change those ‘permissions’ Does anyone know?

Thanks again!

You have to enter the right password and username in config.php to your databases.

I don’t know what Yahoo Webhosting entails, but unless it says MySQL tables somewhere you can’t use it. You need hosting that allows you to create MySQL databases, and they should be able to tell you your details to log into that.
