   Hey everyone, i will get to the point.

   I recently purchased some go daddy hosting, it was the deluxe windows cgi etc, the right type.

   I have installed wordpress onto the ftp and i belive i have filled out the config correctly.

   however when i try to run the install

   http://www.yourdomain.com/yourblogfolder/wp-admin/install.php

   it does not seem to work,

   i have read many of the other thread on this subject and not yet found a answer.

   i have also followed the steps here exactly.

   Are you sure you have the correct host name in place?

   this is what my config file looks like from the password down.

   define('DB_HOST', '
   p41mysql103.secureserver.net'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
   define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
   define('DB_COLLATE', '');

   // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
   $table_prefix = 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

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

   /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

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

   i obtained this information from the database section of my mysql account
