In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionwait i’m getting somewhere. i now get this error
“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 extra0_1 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? “how do i check to see if the database is active?

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionyes i have my site up, but i’m not sure what to do. as you’ve noticed i’m new to this but i’m learning. i have cpanel yes, and i created my database right i think? i went to the ‘MySQL Account Maintenance’ and created a database and user.
i uploaded the WP files in the same spot i download say my index and whatever else i want, the main folder of my domain.
am i on the right track?

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionbut im lost when it comes to making the data base and
“<?php
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘database name’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘database user’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
…So then:
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘enter your database here’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘enter your user here’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘enter your password here’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);<–As outlined in the directions, you probably won’t have to change “localhost” to any other setting.”this..help:(

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionwell i changed the config.sample file (or whatever) as i was supposed t then uploaded it to my server (extra-0rdinary.net) and it’s not working. i go to http://www.extra-0rdinary.net/wp-admin/install.php and get Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost.Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?
