Suggestions for Godaddy users!

  • I have been trying to put up a new blog at my website which is hosted at Godaddy.
    Finally I have been successful!!

    But it didn’t happen in the smooth ” Famous 5-Minute Install” way,
    I had to keep on trying for 3-4 days to get my blog finally working.

    Here are few things I feel, I should tell the other new WordPress users to avoid the fuss,

    1. You need to have your site hosted at Linux based server to get the PHP (thus WordPress) working.
    2. You need to the host name there in the wp-config.php file.

    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

    The included isntruction says “99% chance you won’t need to change this value”, Godaddy perhaps fall under the other 1% !!

    Some of these things might be very obvious to the Pro users, but I come from a non programing background and I feel there would be more people like this who would hit a roadblock for such simple things.

    well, that’s a nice idea, but my blog is not about blogging…or wordpress,
    and i don’t think anyone would head to my blog would be interested in that kind of information. This place is perhaps the first place people would try to find the answer from. That’s the reason I posted it here.
