can select database

  • Hi there,

    i know this issue has come up, but everything i read did not help me. I did change my localhost to the server number, that did not work.

    I have just set up hosting with https://www.ehostpros.com/ maybe they are not running the correct version of php?

    I know nothing, learning all i can and very frustrated- please help!

    thanks!
    sha

    Other than that, you really haven’t describe what is happening and what you’ve done.

    Hi,
    yes sorry- i have done everything as decribed in that document link you just sent and i am still getting this error message. please tell me what else you need to know from me! thanks!

    “We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the xxxxxxx_xxxxblog 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?

    If you continue to have connection problems you should contact your host. If all else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.”

    Using CPanel ?
    Did you do The Really Important Bit ?

    i fixed it- i hate to even tell you what i did not do- but basically i am just overly frustrated and rushing through things- i was off by 1 letter in my db name- so of course it was not working. thanks for all you help- i am sure i will be back!
