    I’ve read all the tutorials and forums I could, and called godaddy support, before posting this. Even uninstalled WordPress and reinstalled. Same problem. When I go to wp-admin, I get a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected. With bunches of letters, numbers, and symbols following. Granted, I’m a novice. But, I’m not clueless (maybe?). Any help would really be appreciated.

    With regard to the problem being in the DB HOST. Could be, because WordPress is saying godaddy’s host name should resemble ……secureserver.net, and godaddy is telling me it’s ……hostedresource.com.

    I found a page that showed a possible DB_HOST value for godaddy of: h41mysql52.secureserver.net. I’m not sure what kind of access you have to database tools but you might be able to find the exact host through your DB tools admin.

    If I give you a contact number would you want to call and maybe work through this on the phone?

    Actually I just found this page http://help.godaddy.com/article/5111 that appears to say leave DB_HOST as localhost. Have you tried localhost there?

    Sounds like your site may have been compromised. I’m going to have our security team take a look and get in touch with you. In the meantime, change the FTP password to a strong password, uninstall and reinstall, then re-upload the site.

    After deleting everything I’d previously installed and starting from scratch on both the godaddy and WP sides of the fence; somehow, someway it all worked. Again, thanks to all who did their best to help me!
