    Hi there,

    my site (siluofake.com) worked fluently. About one month ago, when I was installing another site, I deleted a mysql database by accident!
    Now when I try to open my site (http://siluofake.com), I got the following error message (google translate from Chinese): “Error in creating database connection”. And when I want to open “http://siluofake.com/wp-admin/” I got the following error message:

    “Can not select database

    We were able to connect to the database server (which means that your username and password are correct) but failed to select the $s database.

    1. Are you sure it exists?
    2. Does the user veryeuro_europe1 have permission to use the database veryeuro_cinask?
    3. In some systems your database name prefix is your username, in the case of username_veryeuro_cinask. Could this be the problem? ”

    Is there any way to recover a deleted mysql database through cpanel? Thank you very much.

  • check the details in wp-config.php
    ensure that MySQL is up and working
    confirm with your hosting if MySQL server is on localhost or a different server

    You should login to your host’s cPanel and check whether the user veryeuro_europe1 is connected to the database in question, and that the database exists, and if it has all access privileges.

    Thanks a lot. I am very very sorry but I realized now that not long ago when I was installing another wordpress site, I deleted that database (veryeuro_cinask) by accident. My own fault. I am very very sorry to bother you. Is there any way to recover a mysql database? Thank you guys.

    I contact my web hoster, they have backups only for 7 days. So, it is helpless. My own fault. The lesson I learned from it is that one should really backup everything regularly, then as I changed the name of my site, I didn’t change the name of my database, that is why I deleted the “unknown” database. Sigh!

    Sorry to hear. Yes, the importance of having backup is something people often fail to realise. Until it bites back. Good luck in restoring your website.
