   Hi,

   Is it possible to have SMF forums and WP 2.2 using the same SQL database? My hosting provider only gives me one mySQL database so I tried to make it work with both SMF and WP. I think it is possbile, because they use different table prefixes, and I tried to enter the parameters of that database in the config file and when I run setup I get this error message:

   "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 x3me_db 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?"

   Is there a solution to my problem? The database parameters are correct, SMF forum works well. I tried searching but got nothing usefull...

   Edit: Problem solved. It was a typing error in the config file which I didn't see at first. Sorry for disturbance.
