 * I made a silly mistake and renamed my databases in myphpadmin. When I realized
   I had made a mistake I changed it back, but it is not reconnecting. My host doesn’t
   seem to have any help for me. Any idea on anything I can do to fix this? Below
   is the error message I got while going to [http://whatismyaura.com/wp-admin](http://whatismyaura.com/wp-admin):
 * 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 beacontv_ss_dbnameb65
   database.
 * (Beacontv is the main domain account)

 * Try resetting the privs on that database for the db user associated with the 
   site.
