Hi,

Thanks for the steps. I followed them to the letter, but it appears I was unsuccessful. When I try to access the domain in my web browser I am told that there was an “Error establishing a database connection.”

When I attempt to access the WordPress admin area, I am told that “We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the xxxxxxx_xxxxx database.”

(I removed the actual database name for security purposes.)

I tried clearing my cookies and my cache but I still get the same errors. Please let me know what I should do.

Thanks,
Paul

Grant, you just overwrite them over the newly installed ones in the new hosting account.

I am not clear on point5, where do I save the wp-admin, wp-includes and wp-content directories.

Thanks
Grant
