Can’t find the Database.

  • I’m trying to install WordPress, I’ve done this two or three times but both times on the main domain, this time I’m doing it on a subdomain of my domain… I have a database and all the correct information… the problem I’m having is this:

    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 WP database.

    * Are you sure it exists?
    * On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_wordpress. Could that be the problem?

    —–

    I really don’t know where I’ve gone wrong or what to do…help! & Thanks in advanced.

  • Saw this same thing this morning, and I found out that I had set my wp-config.php file to

    define('DB_NAME', 'WPdata');
    but
    define('DB_NAME', 'wpdata');
    was the correct method (database names are case-sensitive).

    So please check your wp-config.php file to make sure all the information is correct and there are no extra spaces–for instance:

    ‘ wpdata’ is wrong — there’s a space in front of the w
    ‘wpdata’ is right
