Installing WordPress

I bought a domain and hosting to learn WordPress with Web Hosting for students, however, whenever I try to install it using cPanel I receive the message:

The following errors were found : Could not make the query numbered : 30 MySQL Error No : 1064 MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '1, 1, now(), now(), 'WordPress is an award-winning web software, used by million' at line 1

Any ideas want I may have done wrong? Thanks

I know this doesn't solve your direct problem... But I suggest you check out http://wpengine.com they are a great host for wordpress websites.

I would need to see your set up more in depth to troubleshoot the issue above.. =O,
Is there any way you can provide more information about about the steps you took to set up wordpress in your hosting environment?

I think you should contact your hosting provider, Because there's a error about MySQL Server Version

Thank you all for your help. The hosting site responded that it was a problem on their end. I appreciate everyone jumping in to give me a hand.

Are you doing the manual install? If yes, it says " You have an error in your SQL syntax" so somewhere when creating the database some query was written wrongly. Either try finding the bug or do the 1 click install (if you have done it already then wordpress is already installed.) You can also check out this post for more tips on what others tried to do to solve that issue, but overall it says you have a syntax error so finding that might be the solution.
