 * Hi,
 * I uploaded files successfully & created database too. but this message appear,
   can anyone help in this regard?
    ———————————————————– 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 medicaltoursindia.com database.
 *  * Are you sure it exists?
    * Does the user medicalt_med have permission to use
   the medicaltoursindia.com 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? ———————————————————–
 * Thanks
    Regards

 * Most of the time this means the information you have supplied in wp-config.php
   is wrong or you haven’t correctly created the database or the database user, 
   or you haven’t given proper privileges to the database user.
 * Please review the [Create the database and user section in Installing WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Step_2:_Create_the_Database_and_a_User)
   and [Setup the wp-config.php file](http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Step_3:_Set_up_wp-config.php).
