I get to the point where i have to configure my wordpress and by that the database to which it should connect to.
here is how i created the database in mysql:



mysql>create database `wplocal`;


visual representation



username is "root", going @ localhost and password is "lmao". Apache server is running, everything is working fine.



wp configuration window



except when I actually click to configure the database, bum, this badboy pops up:



screenshot of error message



i've tried deleting the database and creating it again, restarting the apache server, even manually configuring the wp-config.php file. nothing works. any help helps :). thank you if you took your time.
