Go Daddy

Just as MichaelH suspected, you’ll need to switch from Windows IIS 6 over to a Linux account. You can do so by using this help article: https://help.godaddy.com/article/1285

We can certainly take a look. I just need your domain and we will get in touch.

We tried to get in touch with you and were unable to reach you using the phone number on your Go Daddy account. We do see that the install is working properly. Please let us know if you still need assistance.

With the information from your screenshot, we completed the password retrieval using the webmaster@ email address. You should see a confirmation link in your email. Please let us know if you still get this error.

I see this thread is resolved. Please let me know if you still need assistance.

Hi clayd,

If you’re still having trouble we want to help you out. If you can post your domain name we will be in touch via the email address on your Go Daddy account.

Thanks for your email. We will be in touch.

We also wanted to share our current limitations for MySQL:

Glad to hear you had success! Since you’ve changed things in your account, it would be too late to determine what the problem was, but next I would check what I would check for next time are the rewrite rules/redirection (in the .htaccess or in the php.ini).

We do remove the install.php on completion of installation in Hosting Connection. This is what is recommended by WordPess.

robdar and reanto_s gave some good suggestions. If you’re still having issues, please don’t hesitate to contact [email protected]. Be sure to include the domain name in the email so we can find your account.

Just found this old post… I hope you got what you needed over at the MU forum. If you have any specific questions about Go Daddy hosting, don’t hesitate to contact our support teams: 480.505.8877 or [email protected]

Hi there,

If you’re still having trouble, we offer a really simple install of WordPress through Go Daddy Hosting Connection.

Also, WordPress works great on our Windows servers with IIS7.

FYI, We’ve tested using permalinks on a Go Daddy Windows shared hosting account, and it does work. The PATHINFO suggestion from the WordPress help article does the trick – put /index.php/ in front of the permalink string.

@flipsideinc, You can import a database into a Go Daddy hosting account. You’ll want to get a .sql file, not a .bak. Just create the database from the Hosting Control Center, then follow these instructions for importing the data:

Michael’s right, the computer that you’re using at home doesn’t matter. Macs and PCs can all access Go Daddy services.

Also, WordPress works great with either Linux or Windows, but you need to make sure that you’re using IIS7 if you have a Windows account. The IIS setting is something you configure the very first time you setup the hosting account.

Hi matteocv,

You’re not out of luck because Windows IIS 7 hosting accounts support PHP. For more on Windows Hosting PHP support, see this help article:
