localhost not able to select the database.
Hello all, I thought I posted a message on here last week, but as it happens, I was in Paris and it automatically posted it in the French forum! So I've posted it here now - no idea how to close it in the French one though..

Wamp Server 2.1
I have quite a few existing local (WordPress) websites which all worked perfectly. until one day suddenly (at least to me) I got this error message for ALL my local websites (All WP websites) when trying to access the dashboard:
"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 easylunchcompany database.
Are you sure it exists?
Does the user corrigan_corri have permission to use the easylunchcompany database?
On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_easylunchcompany. Could that be the problem?
If you don't know how to set up a database you should contact your host. If all else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums."
I've double checked the names of the databases and users ant they are all correct and the users have permission like they have always had.
I've searched this forum and google, but have not been able to find any solutions or things to check or try.
Does anyone here know what might be wrong? Wamp is online and green, I can access phpAdmin without problems.. I've tried restarting WAMP, restarting my computer, but none of it works, I still get the error message..
PS I only get the above message when going to .../wp-admin, when going to any of the homepages of any of my local sites, I get this message: Error establishing a database connection.
Thanks!!!
