 * when I try to open wordpress/index.php or install.php in my brwser, got this 
   msg
 * We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and
   password is okay) but not able to select the extreme 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?
 * – I’ve tried with username_wordpress (changd username) but still nothing

 * well if you don’t know what your database is best thing would be to contact your
   host.
