    WordPress 4.7 under Linux16 & Xampp 5.6 Lampp/htdocs/installed. Have create DB phpmyadmin set and received then following error message during the settingup to instalacion(xampp, mySql & Proftpd running):

    ******************************************
    Can’t select database
    We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the boxes database.
    *Are you sure it exists?
    *Does the user admin have permission to use the boxes database?
    *On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_boxes. Could that be the problem?
    ******************************************

    Had checked all Msge hints, Prblm still persistent
    Does anyone have a note or a solution?

  • Does the database user you made have all MySQL permissions? E.g. create_tables,drop_tables, etc.

    hi jack,
    I have to create 2 users during, installation!
    for a localhost installation the db-user should be “root”,
    then it works fine!
    thanx

    Its seems there is some permission issue. Pls check user permissions.
