Godaddy

Did you actually install WP successfully?
The 404 says the server can’t be found.

I am sorry, it is https://www.soplanet.org/blog , my mistake. I will fix the post above. : )

dyd u give WP permission to use the database? When you edited the wp-config.php did u get the correct DB information inputted?

When I am working with godaddy, I named the wordpress folder “blog” and put blog as the database name. I put my godaddy username in the mySQL username box, and the password as well… The password. I kept the host as localhost. What did I do wrong?

What plan/package do you have with godaddy?

BTW, a search above for ‘godaddy’ will return a wealth of information…

I am working with https://www.godaddy.com, I believe we use their basic package, I am not sure…

Find out. No one else can.

THis is what it said in my acount: Economy Hosting w/ ASP / Windows

Change it to Linux.
Also, follow the advice given by Yosemite: do a search here for “godaddy” and you’ll find a lot of information.

How do I change it to Linux?

Talk to your host – isn’t that obvious?

I share a hosting account with my cousin in caifornia, I need their credit card number for tech support, I live in Texas, and I do not believe they would give me their credit card number for any old reason.

I don’t think you need any credit card. What you need is tell your host to switch your account from Win hosting to Linux. It’s the same price.

Ok. : )

I will try that. : )

I’m having the same problem as you, I’m using godaddy and trying to install wordpress for a friend of mine.

Godaddy recently upgraded to a new version of php which I think is causing the problem.. but I’m not sure yet..
