   I get this error when creating a database on Bluehost

   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 roctrust_wpcontent database.

   Are you sure it exists?
   Does the user roctrust_admin have permission to use the roctrust_wpcontent database?
   On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_roctrust_wpcontent. Could that be the problem?
   If you don't know how to set up a database you should contact your host. If all else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.

   Can anyone help?

   Ok I have it fixed. You need to use the database manager to create it, but now I can't get this to work. http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory. have it working on a GoDaddy site, but tried this and it didn't work

   <?php
   /**
    * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
    * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
    *
    * @package WordPress
    */
   
   /**
    * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
    *
    * @var bool
    */
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
   
   /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
   require('./build/wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>

   Can anyone help?

   What isn't working? Do you have a link to it? The way you have it, if you followed the linked article correctly, your site should now be running from a directory named build/

   @bh_WP_fan. I'm not sure why, but it works now. It can't of been cache because it was literally new hosting and domain. :).

   Thanks anyway
