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

    This error message generally means: The DB_NAME is wrong.

    If you open up the database in question with phpMyadmin and poke around the options table you should see an entry with the url of the site in question. Be careful not to change anything. That way you can find which database goes to which site.

    Also check that the database you name in your “wp-config.php” file and other settings match what you have created inside your database.
