 * How come it keeps telling me that No Database is selected when I’ve already selected
   my database.
    what seems to be the problem here???????

 * Did you copy wp-config.sample.php to wp-config.php and edit it to match your 
   settings?
    You put your own user, password, and database name in there. Mike

 * It is part of the distribution. When you unzipped the files, wp-config.sample.
   php is one of the files. You have to copy is to wp-config.php (or rename it) 
   and modify the database settings in there to match your database.
