Ok, I’ve finally solved my problem and everything seems to be working fine. What I’d done wrong was replace the “DB_NAME” etc. with my corresponding data instead of the other part (“wordpress,” “username,” etc.). Duh, I know. Well I told you I was brand new to this stuff. Gotta start somewhere, right…lates

I’ve been having the same problem regarding”error connecting to database.” I’m currently in the process of troubleshooting, including the “localhost” issue. I’ve noticed separate URL for the MySQL portion of my account…perhaps I’ll plug that in and see what happens.

Regarding the “special hostname” from GoDaddy, did you have to insert the whole hostname in the “DB_HOST” space? What was the format?

Thanks for your input…
