Unable to create database user (ee Wordpress install)

v3
#1

Hi, this worked fine on Digital Ocean but on Linode I get this error. “Unable to create database user” which leads to a partial installation without any wp-config.php It does install the database but without the user assigned to it.

This is the latest EasyEngine 2.2.2

here is the relevant log output after I tried this operation . . .

@jimlongo

Would you please confirm, that the same database user already does not exist at your mysql server.

use this command mysql -e "SELECT User FROM mysql.user;"

Thanks harshadyeola,

I did ensure that, still no luck.

However after looking at the latest logs further, I completed the ee.config file supplying a wordpress username, password, and email - after that the ee site create process worked as expected.

Thanks again, jim
