    Hey all,

    First, here is a link to a screenshot of my admin page. All the tables and design is gone.

    And now I’ll describe how I it happened:

    I have a FREE Godaddy hosting account, so I was instructed to manually install WP, which I did. I created a new database and browsed to the “…wp-admin/install.php” page. After I entered all the details, I got the following message:

    “We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the wordpress database.”

    So I decided to manually config the “wp-config.php” file, here is a snippet:

    // ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
    /** The name of the database for WordPress */
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘ynitzani’);

    /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘ynitzani’);

    /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘***********’);

    /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘ynitzani.db.7609458.hostedresource.com’);

    /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

    /** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

    As you can see, the public WP page works fine, it’s just the admin.

    I probably messed something up along the way, so please help.

    Thanks
