 * Hi, I created database and upload WordPress script via ftp and follow the installation
   link: [http://example.com/mysite/wp-admin/install.php](http://example.com/mysite/wp-admin/install.php)
   but get this message and I’m really amazed;
 * > We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and
   > password is okay) but not able to select the frostie_que database.
   >  Are you sure it exists?
   >  Does the user frostie_quename have permission to 
   > use the frostie_que database? On some systems the name of your database is 
   > prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_frostie_que. Could

 * How can I solve this?
 * Regards

 * Double check if the database is existing and the prefix is correct. You may check
   the wp-config file if the Database Details are correct such as the **database
   username,database prefix, hostname **and **host **
