installation problems

  • I get this message when I try to start wordpress after the instalation. I know i have done something wrong but I dont know what it is

    We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the wordpress database.
    ?Are you sure it exists?
    ?Does the user root have permission to use the wordpress database?
    ?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?

    – double check your wp-config.php file settings for the database name, database username and database password. This is where most errors occur.

    -Then check that you don’t need to change the database host from “localhost” to something else. You can get that info from your hosting provider.

    -Check you have actually created a database with the same database name as is in your wp-config.php file.

    -Last, but not least, if all that information is correct your database probably has a problem with it, and you may need to contact your hosting provider.
