 * 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 altherit_wordpress
   database.
 * Are you sure it exists?
    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 continue to have connection problems you should contact your 
   host. If all else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.

 * Are you sure that that’s the name of your database? Try checking it in your server’s
   control panel.
