I don’t usually run into these installation errors because I’m just awesome and stuff..! Are you sure you didn’t do a typo for the “wp-config.php” file?
Are you sure you have ALL the stuff in that wp-config.php file right for the Database informations, without typos? I’m not sure about your host, maybe someone else knows how they work on installations.. :/

// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘myDB’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘myUN’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘myPWD’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘64.202.166.199:34820’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
//i changed it from localhost to this
do i need to change on $table_prefix = ‘wp’;
define (‘WPLANG’, ”);
//what about this one??? WPLANG
I’ve googled the error: results
That might point you in the right direction. Could be GoDaddy doesn’t have your mysql config’ed properly.
Also, you could save this bit of code to a test file called test.php (or whatever you want to call it, so long as it has the .php extension).
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
This will show you php configuration on your webhost. If you don’t see anything for mysql, your hosting probably is not set up to where php and mysql can “talk to each other”
do i need to change on $table_prefix = ‘wp’;
You don’t need to. the prefix is what appended to the wordpress tables’ names, e.g. wp_posts, wp_comments, etc.
define (‘WPLANG’, ”);
//what about this one??? WPLANG
That one definites what language you will be posting in. You would put in “de” in the second parameter if you where going to use German, for example.
One more thing,
Make sure you have already created a database and database user via your webhosting control panel.
