Installing Wordpress database error

Tried to install wordpress on my hostgator account, but I keep getting this message: 'Error: You have exceeded the maximum allowed databases.' I've tried adding a database and that isn't working either.

Probably the best thing to do is get on the livechat with hostgator. They have great customer service support through their chat module and the problem may be on their end.

You should also make sure (if you have a reseller account), that your configuration allows for more than one database.

Thanks, it turns out I hadn't upgraded the package for my reseller account. Everything was limited to 1MB/1 database as default.

Lolz. Yeah I did the same on my reseller account for the first domain I created. Had to go through and create a new package.
