 * Hi ..my host moved me to another server and then back to my original server and
   now my website seems messed up …my URL is [http://www.eworldmauritius.com/fantasyland/](http://www.eworldmauritius.com/fantasyland/)
   and this is what i get :
 * 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 eworl2_wrdp3
   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? If you don’t know how to setup a database you should contact your host.
   If all else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.
 * Can anyone pls help me sort this out asap? I’ll be much grateful since my website
   has been down for like 24 hours now.. Thanks in advance
 * Sirux
