I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and had to reinstall WampServer to get it running.
I'd like to reinstall Wordpress for a local WampServer site.
I have deleted the old database and username, and created a new user + associated database of the same name. I left the password blank.
When I try to run the install, I get to [
example] and the error:
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 example database.
Are you sure it exists? Does the user example have permission to use the example database? On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_example. Could that be the problem?
I have confirmed the database name is correct.
I've confirmed the user has correct privileges to the database + global privileges.
Any ideas?
