 * I´m trying to install wordpress on my website, [http://www.badmood.net](http://www.badmood.net),
   hosted in a Doteasy hosting server.
    I´ve uploaded all the files to the folder
   [http://badmood.net/blog/](http://badmood.net/blog/) and i edited the wp-config.
   php with all the info needed. Before I create the database on mysql server, i
   was able to access the install.php on the server using firefox. As i had no database
   created, i was getting the message:
 * 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 badmood_net_-_blog_db database.
 * This is normal. But then when i created the database with the name “badmood_net_-
   _blog_db” i started having an error 500 message, when trying to access [http://www.badmood.net/blog/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.badmood.net/blog/wp-admin/install.php)
   with the firefox.
 * Can annybody help this newby?
    Thanx
