 * We host as lot of websites from one of our hosting clients and we have not been
   able to wordpress to load properly into the clients domian.
 * Every client has their own folder for their website ex: public_html/client/wordpress.
 * When I go to [http://www.client.com/wordpress](http://www.client.com/wordpress)
   and attempt to configure I keep getting :
 * We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and
   password is okay) but not able to select the client_wordpress database.
 * Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

 * Make sure you have the right database name in wp-config.php and that you have
   the proper privileges for that database.
