 * I am trying to set-up wordpress on Byethost, and am having an install.php problem.
   I have created a database, and fully edited install.php, but when i run install.
   php from byethost, i get this message”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 b12_2823695_Wordpress database.
 * Are you sure it exists?
    Does the user b12_2823695 have permission to use the
   b12_2823695_Wordpress database?” Can anyone help? Thanks

 * You shouldn’t need to edit install.php…if you have a Cpanel account, see the 
   following…even if you don’t have Cpanel it may help you better understand the
   install process.
