Can’t select database

    Hi
    This problem suddenly arose: when I try to connect to my site, I get this error:

    We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the aslak_wrdp1 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?

    It’s just when I try to connect to my root folder (bloggenmin.com). If I add www (www.bloggenmin.com), it starts up like before.

    Guess I could have messed something up with the databases i my NetAdmin, I’m just a newbie on these things. But I can still reach the single posts, so I guess it’s all there. Anyone who knows what the problem might be?

    If it was working and you touched nothing, give the host 10 minutes then email them. They could be doing some database stuff.

    Well, I was touching somethin 😉 I denied access to the database for my user (by a mistake), and then I granted access again right after it, but I still have this problem. Everything seems right in my NetAdmin, and, as I said, when I type www it works perfectly well. Strange. Could I have messed up any settings?

    What are the two URI values in Options > General?
    Are they with or without www ?
    (in the database you can check them in the option table: site_url and home rows)

    Well, today it’s working fine. Guess it needed a bit longer than expected to update. Thanks anyway for your time.
