 * I got this error message when I tried to access the install.php page –
 * We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and
   password is okay) but not able to select the elegance_wordpress database.
 *  * Are you sure it exists?
    * Does the user elegance_admin have permission to
   use the elegance_wordpress database? * 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?
 * If you don’t know how to setup a database you should contact your host. If all
   else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.

 * And what was/is your answer to those questions?
