ConfigTrace.log
Most commonly, the installation failures result from the configuration tasks that are executed
during installation. The <wp_root>/log/ConfigTrace.log contains the generated trace output for
each configuration task that executed during installation, so you will need to open this file and
check for the output, as shown in Example 3-5.
