    Ok, I’ve gotten through my first error (my password was incorrect). Now I get this one:

    We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the testblog 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?”

    I have installed MySQL database through my hosting control panel but it seems to have named the database thriftdesign.com and I can’t seem to change the name of the database. Could this be the problem?

    you dont need to change the name of the database, just use the right name in wp-config.php

    I’m having trouble finding the part of script I edit to do this. Could someone copy and paste the segment please?
