Hello all,
I have GoDaddy hosting on a Windows box, and I’m definately running into the same problem as everyone else with the “Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress”. I had checked and double checked everything before seeing the solution was to switch to Linux. I’m asking GoDaddy to switch over right now.
In relation to your question, mophed, I looked into the hosting options, and the reason we have to switch to Linux is that Windows hosting only supports ASP or ASP.net, hence the reason WordPress couldn’t find PHP installed The Linux boxes support a plethera of languages, including PHP4 and 5. So basically any Linux plan should work, so I’d make sure “Economy” plan runs Linux.
Good luck, everyone
