 * I uploaded my blog via fantastico. I am informed that it is successfully loaded.
   When trying to get to the admin I am told the following.
    ———————- 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 arthriti_wrdp5 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 don’t know how to setup a database you should contact your host. If all
   else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.

    I thought this was all done by fantastico. Harirams

 * Yes, It should. And what does your host say?
