# 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 reazahmed database.
    Are you sure
   it exists? Does the user have permission to use the reazahmed database? On some
   systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would
   be like username_reazahmed. Could that be the problem?
 * If you don’t know how to set up a database you should contact your host. If all
   else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.

 * It may be obvious, but did you create a database called “reazahmed” on your database
   server? It’s clear that WordPress is looking for that database but that it can’t
   find it. Perhaps a simple typo?
