Installation, Update & Configuration / "Could not select database" ?? Please help!
« on: January 31, 2006, 10:35:35 PM »
Up until a week or two ago, I had a gallery up on my website, belbin-agosto.net, with something like 1500 pictures. My site began recieving a lot of traffic, so my web host moved me to a worse server until the traffic subsided. When this happened, my MySQL database was lost.
They recently moved me back to the better server, but the database is still gone. However, all of my files are intact, 4images is still installed, all the images are still on the server, etc.
I would like to get it up and running again without losing any of the files or information - many of the photos are saved on my old hard drive which I no longer use (and am not quite sure where it is).
So I created a new database today with the same name as before, and made myself a user of the database with the same username and password as before. However, when I try to go to the gallery (belbin-agosto.net/4images) I get this error:
DB Error: Could not select database (belbin2_4images).
What can I do to fix this? As I said above, I would like to get the gallery back up and running without much hassle. I have gotten several emails from visitors to my site inquiring about the gallery, and I want to get it back up for them as soon as possible!
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
