It says:
"We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the localwp database.
- Are you sure it exists?
- Does the user wpuser have permission to use the localwp database?
- On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_localwp. 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 followed the instructions correctly. What did I do wrong??
