### Issue Summary I am using the latest version 7.0.2+6395, but still unable to Create a New Website. I have tried it both with NGnix and Apache This is what the Error Screen Looks like ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/3X/5/e/5e7d00a7485eb6177a654fa7f13f0657792ada12.png) #### Troubleshooting Questions Yes, it happens for all my new sites, I have tried both nginx and Apache but still no luck.? #### Replication Try Creating a New WordPress Website on a Windows Machine, using PHP v8 [that’s what i have tried it with] and any Webserver [nginx, apache]. #### System Details v7.0.2+6395 - Windows 10 Home - OS Buil: 19045.3086 - Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19041.1000.0 - Attach the Local Log. See this Help Doc for instructions on how to do so: ### Security Reminder Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed. ---

@tanmalik786 Try removing the special characters from the admin password – these can be problematic when creating a new install on Windows. Once WordPress is installed, you can change your password to something more elaborate through the WP admin, or using the command line tool. ---

I just realized that I’ve never started a topic, so have never had to do that. 🙂 Depending on the config, you may be able to mark it as the topic owner, but it may also be limited to moderators.
