I'm trying to install Wordpress, but I keep receiving this error:
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 ######## database.
Are you sure it exists?
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?
If you don't know how to setup a database you should contact your host. If all else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.
(I put #### in place of the database name, in case it isn't supposed to be public knowledge). What am I doing wrong?
