 * I’m installing my first wordpress and am having trouble with the wp_admin install.
   I’ve followed the instructions and then run the wp_admin for the subdirectory
   and it comes up with a message that says
 * We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and
   password is okay) but not able to select the db_name database.
 * any help would be amazing!
