 * Hi!
    I’m just at the very beginning, and I can’t go any further because I can’t
   go through a sql problem. I created my database, it appears as created but when
   I try to enter my phpadmin, there is an error: #1045 – Access denied for user‘
   a6576114_SA’@’localhost’ (using password: YES) I’ve tried to delete the database
   and create a new one a few times, and the problem is still here. 🙁 any suggestion
   to help me with that? Thank you for your time! Virginie

 * It sounds like you’ve created the database, but haven’t set the users permissions
   for the database.
 * How to do that can vary depending on what management tool you have available 
   for creating databases. I’d suggest asking your hosting company for information
   on this as they’ll know the system(s) that they have available.

 * Are you on a shared hosting plan ? or do you manage yourself your server (dedicated
   or virtual) ? or maybe is it a local installation on your computer ?
 * How do you create your database ?

 * Virginie,
 * There are three cases can be there-
 * 1. Create database and a user under this database.
    2. If you already created
   the database then create a user with marking on all privileges. 3. If you have
   created the database and user both then just add your user to the database with
   all privileges.
 * Hope this could help.
    Stay WordPressing!

 * Hi,
 * I’m just at the very beginning.
    I created my database, it appears as created
   Error is showing….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 wordpress database.
 *  Are you sure it exists?
    Does the user webmaster have permission to use the 
   wordpress database? 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?
 * Pls guide me in this

 * Have a read here:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome)
   As you’ll note, posts in other people’s threads get missed, as yours did.
 * Please start a new thread. I’m sure you’ll get an answer more quickly if you 
   do.
 * You should also mention the name of your web hosting company. At first glance,
   it looks like your database name differs from the one you told WordPress during
   the install.
