Couldn't select database

thanks Manesh.

That go me a little further. So now I get to the part where you enter your ranomizer's admin user name and email address and then the page after that just says, "Couldn't select database".

Hi Daniel,

This problem usually happens when the MySQL details are either incorrect or incomplete.

You must make sure the following things

1. MySQL username/password is correct
2. MySQL user has the access (Read, Write, Drop, Create and Update) to the MySQL database.
3. MySQL database exists.

You may check the installation guide for setting up the mysql information correctly. Usually your host should be able to assist you in creating and configuring MySQL server/database since the configuration changes from server to server.

Best regards
Manish
