   We're having a little trouble selecting the proper database for WordPress.
   * Are you sure it exists?
   * Your database name is currently specified as blog. Is this correct?
   * 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?

   Thats the error i'm getting. heres my config(my host has to be set at mysql for yahoo):
   <?php
   /** WordPress's config file **/
   /** http://wordpress.org/ **/
   // ** MySQL settings ** //
   define('DB_NAME', 'blog'); // The name of the database
   define('DB_USER', 'XskottX'); // Your MySQL username
   define('DB_PASSWORD', '******'); // ...and password
   define('DB_HOST', 'mysql'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
   // Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
   $table_prefix = 'wp_'; // example: 'wp_' or 'b2' or 'mylogin_'
   // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
   // chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
   // For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
   // to enable German language support.
   define ('WPLANG', 'EN');
   /* Stop editing */
   $server = DB_HOST;
   $loginsql = DB_USER;
   $passsql = DB_PASSWORD;
   $base = DB_NAME;
   define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
   // Get everything else
   require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
   ?>

   Are you 100% sure it's "mysql", not "mysql.yourdomainname.com"? Also, are you 100% sure that you created this database before hand? No offense, but that tends to be the usual problem.

   macmanx, the database was created beforehand (and i just deleted and reuploaded everything) and i tried changing to mysql.seven3true.com and the error i get is(which i would think is a step backwards, but i'm not sure? also, podz, i'm emailing you now.):
   Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again.
   * Are you sure you have the correct user/password?
   * Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
   * Are you sure that the database server is running?

   are you sure the db name is right? i had to use 'bluewebpages_com_wordpress' for mine instead of just wordpress.
