I did everything again, from the beginning, deleted the database, created a new one and re-uploaded all the files and it still does the same thing. I guess if it's a database problem I'm gonna have to talk to my hosting provider, maybe they'll know what's wrong with it. The interesting thing is though that when i run the setup.php file and i type in my database username and password etc. it goes to the next screen and it says all the files have been written successfully and then when I fill in the details for the super admin account it comes up with that error. Also after I fill in those details and i press submit if I go back to the config.php file it looks like this..
<?php
// database settings
$db_host="";
$db_user="";
$db_pass="";
$db_name="";
$db_prefix="";
define("DB_PREFIX", "");
?>
It's empty and I don't know why it does that.
