Trying to install Collabtive and the installation comes back...

The following errors were found :
  • The MySQL Database could not be selected.
I checked my cPanel MySQL and...

Warning: You are currently using the maximum number of MySQL databases. If you need more please contact your service provider.

I have the domain from GoDaddy and it's hosted on X10 with the Illuminated package.

I have SEO Tools(1) and WordPress(3) making up 4 MySQL Databases. I'm afraid that if I delete any I will loose my information.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

You can use a single database for more than one package, which you usually do by configuring each package to use a table prefix. Wordpress, for example, uses "wp_" by default; if you have three separate installations (which will be rather a drain on system resources and you run the risk of an HRU suspension), you can give them separate prefixes, such as wp0_, wp1_ and wp2_. As long as two different packages don't use a table with the same name, they won't conflict. Table prefixes ensure table names don't collide.

If you can't do this, you can upgrade to premium and get more databases (I believe it's currently an unlimited amount; woohoo!)
