 * As a WP newbie, I had the same issue as **Astriker** . . . and **tpoulos**‘ solution
   worked for me too. I might add that when I first tried Firefox 3.0.8, I experienced
   other problems (the whole text block was in HTML) until I changed the preferences
   to “[√] Enable JavaScript”

 * I am getting the same error message as **Raincoat**; “We were able to connect
   to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not
   able to select the ****** database”
    In my case I already have a domain name 
   which I want to keep. I have downloaded the wp file, modified the wp-config.php
   file per instructions. My host is Profitgate.net who I have used for over 10 
   years, but I have an ‘el cheapo’ plan with no tech support. I navigated the cpanel
   easily, found the MySQl and entered the database name, username and password.
   MySQL appended the database name and password. Since I had an existing website,
   I found the public_html folder, emptied it and uploaded the WordPress files. 
   I got an email from profitgate telling me that WordPress has been installed, 
   but when I try the Admin URL: [http://@@@@@@@@.com/WordPress/wp-admin/](http://@@@@@@@@.com/WordPress/wp-admin/)
   I get the error message described above.
 * Any suggestions?
