Let's start from the good. If you got this error, MySQL server connection was established and at least MySQL host/username/password are ok. Now about the problem. There are 2 'most popular' reasons why you can have "Database select failed" error: 1/ you may have the wrong database name entered - make sure you entered correct name of existing MySQL database; 2/ mysql user account you entered is not granted access to this database. If you use CPanel as hosting control panel, all you have to do is to go to "MySQL databases", select user and db in drop-down menus and click "Add User to Db" button (make sure "Privileges" is set to "ALL"). In other control panels, it is resolved in the similar way. | |
