    I’ve been trying to move my site http://www.plattsburg-pschool.com.au/ to new host. I’ve transferred all the files and edited the wp_config with the name and password of the new database but I get this error:- HELP!

    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 mozincne_wp1 database.

    Are you sure it exists?
    Does the user mozincne_wp1 have permission to use the mozincne_wp1 database?
    On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_mozincne_wp1. Could that be the problem?

    …new host…

    On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username…

    If that is the case, I would guess you need to add that to wp-config. However, asking your new host about how all of that works on their servers is what I would do first since that would be a server-access issue, not a WordPress issue.
