CircaDesignsI've searched and read many threads on loading WP on GoDaddy and none have seemed to have helped me. I guess I'm that bad at this. I don't seem to have the same options that other threads are mentioning. I've removed WP from the site and have started over.
My objective is to add a WP blog to an existing site. WP will not be running the entire site. I'll run through what I've done and see where I'm going wrong.
Created a MySQL database on GoDaddy filling out the fields under the Create Database
Description - WordPress
MySQL Version: 5.0
Left DSN unchecked
MySQL Database/User Name - ’username’
new password - ‘password’
confirm password - ‘password’
Note: When I click on the 'Manage via phpMyAdmin', I cannot login using the ’username’ and ’password’ I just put in above.
When I upload WP to GoDaddy does it need to go into a folder named WordPress? I would like to use http://www.example.com/blog as the URL.
Then of course changing the wp-config.php file to read:
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘username’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
Do I need to change ‘localhost’ to the long Host Name listed under the MySQL Database Information? (clicked on the pencil icon under Action)
Thanks for the help.
