• Did I do this right and is there anything else on this that needs to be changed?

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

    // 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-includes/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/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 am getting this error message: Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.

    I tried changing to ‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysql91.secureserver.net’
    which looks like the default server for the database i setup but i still get the same error message. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

  • If you get this:
    Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.
    it means the PHP and the MySQL are not “talking” to each other. Meaning even if both are installed on the server they don’t know about each other’s existence.
    You should contact your host.
    Meanwhile – using the instructions in the sticky (red) post on the main page – you could search this forum for the tons of godaddy install posts.

    I currently have my wordpress hosted on godaddy, and everything ran completly smoothly. Email me at m.p.behlen@worldnet.att.net and I can see if I can help you,
