Hi, I'm very new to October, I just downloaded it today and tried to install it on my Ubuntu 16.04 server. I already have Apache2 for a while, and today get PHP7.0 and Mysql freshly installed. The installation was not very smooth, I got many errors at the requirement check first, but after installing all the needed packages and restart the Apache, I can finally proceed to next step.

But now I got stuck at the last stage, an error happened at "Create Admin Account", the error message is :

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'database' (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = database and table_name = migrations) Something went wrong during the installation. Please check the log file (install_files/install.log) or see the documentation for more information.

Here's the last part of my log file:

Anyone has an idea what the problem is ? I googled and found somebody has the same issue, ( https://github.com/octobercms/october/issues/4049 ), but not a solution.

Create a database with the name of "database". It seems that there is a bug and the software cannot see any other name. Most probably the database is a variable, written in a wrong way. I hope they will see it and correct it, soon.

What comes to sight is that you may have the wrong database name in your config or mysql. crosscheck the names.

 SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'database'

Hello, trying to perform a clean, basic install of October locally with WAMP and I'm running into this same error message. Did anyone ever find a resolution? Here is the error again, and my install.log. I'm stumped. Thanks!

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'database' (SQL: select * from    information_schema.tables where table_schema = database and table_name = migrations) 
Something went wrong during the installation.Please check the log file (install_files/install.log) or see the documentation for more information.

It looks like your configuration file may have been corrupted somehow, or left in an incomplete state. Check the file config/database.php to see if your database settings were updated
