    Hi All,

    I’m working on a new install of EE with MySQL on a local server and as i’m running the install wizard I get the following error message.

    A Database Error Occurred
    Unable to select the specified database: dbWEB
    Filename: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Daycon\system\codeigniter\system\database\DB_driver.php
    Line Number: 140

    I ran dbtest.php and got the following error message

    A connection was established to your database server
    Unable to select your database

    I’m using the root login and have tried using “localhost” and the IP address “127.0.0.1” but continue to get the same error message.  Any help in finishing the set up would be appreciated.

    Never mind I figured it out!  Turns out i was trying to connect to a server instance instead of the database.
