You are too far in.
All you need to do is give a name.
GoDaddy – you don’t need to use phpMyAdmin yet.

i’m not trying to install MyAdmin! i’m saying, i’m following the 5minute instruction directions and using phpMyAdmin to create the database. it’s asking for the number of fields and i don’t know how many to give it.
All you need do is create it. Once it exists, run the WordPress install. It’ll add the tables and fields in the database automatically.
I also used GoDaddy.com, created the database, created the wp-config file with my settings:
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘WordPress56’); (‘DB_USER’, ‘WordPress56’); (‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘******’);
(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
Than i moved all the wordpress files onto the server in my root directory. (My url is http://blantantineptitude.com) and the subdirectory is SnoBrdr56..so i moved them all into the /SnoBrdr56 directory.
After following the 5 minute installation, i recieve the following message:
Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.
How to I fix this?
Godaddy uses a different DB_HOST name. It will look something like: mysql11.secureserver.net. You can find this name by logging into your GoDaddy account, clicking on the pencil (edit) icon.
