Can’t select database

  • Can’t select database
    We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the wwwparas_parassio database.

    Are you sure it exists?
    Does the user wwwparas_parassio have permission to use the wwwparas_parassio database?
    On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_wwwparas_parassio. Could that be the problem?
    If you don’t know how to set up a database you should contact your host. If all else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.

  • Hello,

    The user you create for WordPress to access the database must have ALL privileges over the database.

    I have seen that you use cPanel, so I leave you the steps to do so:

    1o Login to your cPanel using the account that your hosting should have provided you.
    2o Once inside, look for the ‘Database’ section > MySQL database.
    3o Scroll to the bottom of the screen, where it says ‘Add User to the database’.
    – In user select the one you have used for WordPress
    – In ‘Database’ the one you have created for WordPress
    – Click on add
    4o Check the box ‘ All Privileges’ and then click on make changes.

    Finally, check that in the file wp-config.php, the name and the user for the database are the same ones you have given permission to.

    Hope it helps ??
