connecting to db on local machine failing.

  • WHen I make my connection to the database, it says the username and password are right but that it can’t find the db I just made. I have my permissions set, and the db has been created but it can’t find it. the error states “We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the ugbc database.
    Are you sure it exists?
    Does the user joseph have permission to use the ugbc database?
    On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_ugbc. Could that be the problem?    “

    any ideas why?

  • Make sure name of your database is ‘ugbc’ and user ‘joseph’ have the permission to access ‘ugbc’.

    Hello justjoe300,

    Yes, It may be the case that your database name is like ‘username_ugbc’
    so first please check your database name and add appropriate name of database in wp-config.php file.

    Thanks
