database does not exist. but it does

So I wanted to install an acp on my homepage. I uploaded all needed files on my webserver (I use FileZilla Client) and opened phpMyAdmin with xampp. It connects the database but then it says

"Database does not exist."

I'm fairly new to working with phpMyAdmin and mySQL as well.

this is what my db.php looks like:

   <?php
$host = "localhost"; // database server
$user = "akichuchan"; // db username
$pw = "cherryjuice"; // db password    
$db = "acp"; // db name     

$link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pw, $db) or die ("No connection possible.");    
mysql_select_db($db, $link) or die ("Database does not exist.");     
?>

What did I do wrong? Thanks in advance. :)

Try the below working code: 

<?php
$host = "localhost"; // database server
$user = "akichuchan"; // db username
$pw = "cherryjuice"; // db password    
$db = "acp"; // db name     

$link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pw) or die ("No connection possible.");    
mysql_select_db($db, $link) or die ("Database does not exist.");     
?>

NOTE: Don't use " mysql_ ". Better to use " PDO or Mysqli_ " ( safe and secure ) .
