  Can’t select database

  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?
