 * I got the same problem of this
 * 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 myusername_mydatabase 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?
 * Anyone know to resolve this? Please…
