I was in the same boat as some folks above--with a "Cannot select DB." error--until I changed a few things around. With my host at least, one must enable remote connections for a MySQL user (at least i think so!). Also, instead of 'localhost' I had to put 'localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock' in the config file, something to do with a socket. All I know, though, is that I got past the bug by doing that. One other thought is that many hosts add your username to the dbname, a fact that evaded me for a while. The database would be, for instance, username_bbpress. Hope these suggestions help; I know what tech frustrations like these are like. Carefully reading the MySQL control panel is what helped me.

On the same system, I have written php pages that successfully accessed that same mysql database. To give some perspective, I had no problem installing phpBB bulletin boards that use a php/mysql interface. I am just wondering what is going on here. Could anyone help n22 and me solve this issue? Thank you in advance.
