I've setup localsettings.php and createdb.php to use the correct
database but I continue recieving the following message.

"Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in
/home/tobin/public_html/LocalSettings.php on line 10
Creating new tables. Could not select database
No Database Selected (tried non-p connect)

If this error persists after reloading and clearing your browser cache,
please notify the Wikipedia developers."

Make sure the username & password settings are correct, and that you've
set up the user permissins on MySQL. Modify and run buildUsers.inc
appropriately.

Fixed now. turned out the user names existed but they didn't have
permission to access the database (setting up MySQL through my webhosts
frontend is not much fun! :)

Now I just need to get PHP warnings and notices turned off and
everything will be working well.
