Hello,
im having the hardest time setting up drupal on my server.. i had an older version that i use to host which i plan to upgrade but i cant even finish this fresh install. its saying that it can select my database
my website is www.allensworld.org and also trying www.allensworld.org/upgrade.php
I do have other php database driven websites that work...

(config)
$db_url = 'mysql://allen@%:password@localhost/drupal';
$db_prefix = '';
(error)
We were able to connect to the MySQL database server (which means your username and password are okay) but not able to select the database.
The MySQL error was: No database selected.
Currently, the database is . The username is and the database server is .

What connection string did you use now?
What connection string did you use now? The server shouldn't comeback in the username (ie allen@% is not going to work).
