Having gone through to 'Site Settings' and then to ' SharePoint Portal
Server Central Administration' and to create a new portal site..

Once on the create new portal site screen, I choose to restore from a
database as opposed to creating a new portal.

I've copied databases from an existing portal in an attempt to mirror
the portal for a development stage. When I input the names of the
databases on the web page (from which to restore..) I continuously
receive the following error:-

You cannot connect to the database, or the database does not exist.
Check that the database name is correct, and then try again.
([DB_NAME_HERE]).

I've re-created the portal databases as accurately as possible and
using the right windows domain user etc etc (Ownership is mapped to a
sharepoint user), yet I STILL receive this error.. does anybody have
any idea what might be causing this and any possible suggestions as to
a solution?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
