Same here. It would be great if those of us who have posted about this in various posts could get an answer from the dev. At least a “I’m aware of the problem” answer would be better than silence.

@esmi:

-My websites all have different plugins. I *did* deactivate all plugins on one of them to see if the problem would resolve itself. Nope.

-They all have different themes, so that was not the problem. And again, on one of them I did switch to Twenty Ten, with no luck.

-Even tried resetting plugins folder on a site, but no luck.

-And yes, I put fresh instances of wp-admin and wp-includes.

-And increased memory for PHP

~~~~~~~~~~~

Late breaking news…I just did the WP 3.2 upgrade on five of my sites and the problem is solved. Not sure what fixed the issue, but at this point this is a moot discussion.

Hooray!

Thanks again to each of you for trying to help.

I appreciate the ideas, guys.

@ahsaniqbalkmc: I thought of that, too. I’ve tried different connections, different computers, different browsers.

Anyone else have any ideas? Please?

The page does completely load.

I believe I am. Here’s the entry:
(I have replaced my real data with “xxxx” and “yyyy”)

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘xxxx’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘xxxx’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘yyyy’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysq167.secureserver.net’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix = ‘shownotes’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’

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

/* Stop editing */

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

I’ve done all that. I confirmed with GoDaddy’s techs that I have entered the host name correctly, and all other fields. Still I get the error.

Now what???

Mine is back too! Must’ve been GoDaddy’s problem. Great!

Well, I’ve emailed my support rep at GoDaddy. We’ll see if this helps him any.

If anyone has any more specific help, I’d sure like to hear it here…

Well, it’s nice to know I’m not alone! The tech support guy I talked to was pretty clueless about WordPress.

Just spent about 40 min on the phone w/them. They say the database is “working fine”.

What exactly needs to be done with the database? Their tech support guys say they need to know what the errcode: 17 is. BTW, the host is GoDaddy.
