WP upgrade: cannot select database

  • About a year ago I’ve installed WP on a free hosting, everything fine for months no problems.

    It worked just fine until few month/weeks ago, I’ve upgraded to 4.2.3 today so I think it started with the upgrade before, the first time it happened I had no time and WP seems to work fine, so I just ignored the error.

    At the end of the upgrade procedure WP tell me (is in Italian so I’m translating here..):
    upgrading database…
    – Cannot select the Database
    – can connect (user/password are correct) but can’t select the db
    – the user <username> have correct permissions to access database <dbname>

    The hosting provider have phpMyAdmin installed, it works and I can access and see the database <dbname> (name is correct with the above) and the tables.

    If I go back and forward (not sure because now is upgraded and can’t test) a dialog to upgrade the database appear and once submitted it complete succesfully.

    Now in the dashboard show version 4.2.3 is installed, but the upgrade page tell me there’s an upgrade available (4.2.3 itself, and if I install it again and again it do the same again and again)

    What’s wrong??
