    this is a link to a screenshot from Gdaddy (i know, i know). I've set up a billion dbs before and can't seem to get this one working. The only thing I caqn think of is that we deleted the clients old db and directory with the same names...

    ANY idea?

    That database host looks weird but you might consider asking GoDaddy support.

    Also look at wpdb for accessing the database. And Integrating_WordPress_with_Your_Website.

    You won't get any effective help from GoDaddy. GoDaddy is great registrar but a poor host. I would consider moving to a new host.

    What happens for you when you go to the site? When i go to countryexposure.com (assuming that's the domain you are inquiring about) I get a forbidden message. Now a lot of people install WordPress to a WordPress directory. Which it appears is the case for countryexposure.com, for when you go to countryexposure.com/wordpress I get a message saying : "There doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn't work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file." This indicated that there is not a database issue, but just the fact that you have no wp-config.php file to connect to the database with. I believe once you create and set up this file your issue will be resolved.

    I decided to delete the site and DB and start over. I'm trying to learn this product (WP). I have 3 WP blogs (not really for the public of course but they are up)just to study. Thanks for input.
