Help with WordPress and GoDaddy

  • I am trying to upload to my host, GoDaddy, and I get this error:

    Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.

    I have checked and double checked the wp-config file and it seems correct, but I’m not sure. I have 2 versions of the hostname. One is the h41mysql123.secureserver.net as mentioned on the WordPress installation instructions. Another is within the
    MySql section itself, and it’s mysqladmin2.secureserver.net##### (with numbers at the end – each time I log into the control panel for MySql those numbers change).

    Which hostname am I supposed to have in wp-config? The h41 or both? I also cannot figure out how to set privileges within the GoDaddy MySql server. I’m searching all of their help files to try to find something.

    The MySql database also says that I have no tables. Is that what it should say?

    Thanks for the help, anyone.

    I’ve been searching the forums and found a few different things.

    I have Windows economy hosting with Godaddy. Am I able to use WordPress with that? I read some old messages that said you had to upgrade to Linux or have deluxe hosting.

    My wp-config file says this with password X’d out:

    <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘escapeatl’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘escapeatl’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘XXX’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘h41mysql49.secureserver.net’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

    // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
    $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

    // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen language must be installed to wp-content/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’
    // to enable German language support.
    define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

    /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
    ?>

    Everything seems to be correct, but it’s not working.

    I seem to get the same problem, I don’t understand how to make a table, or rather what goes in the table.
