Hi

I have been tasked with setting this up. I have set it up as per the documentation but during the setup process via the admin.php I get the below error message

A Database Error Occurred
Unable to select the specified database: ExpressionEngine

Filename: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\eecore\system\codeigniter\system\database\DB_driver.php

Line Number: 140

I have tested the connection on mysql via workbench with the details I have put in the web console and it connects fine.

What could be causing this?

Database name is truly entered correctly?
Anything conflicting in the config file?

Hi allteks and welcome to the forums 😊

Can you try our Server Wizard first please? This will ask you for db details also.

If you are using localhost you may need to add the IP or name of sql server as an alternative
