    When tring to install I get an error 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 xxxxxxx_com database.”

    The database clearly has been created and shows active.
    Wordpress just does not see it for some reason

    I checked for spelling,extra spaces, etc.
    Everything is perfect.

    Most databases won’t have _com in them. Admittedly there are some oddball constructs out there among hosts though, so have you checked with your tech support to make sure you know what the database is?

    And are you sure your host meets the minimum requirements for whichever version of wp you’re installing?

    And don’t for anything in this WORLD install 2.1.1! See:
