    I’m setting up a new DB with Godaddy. This my 3rd blog. Godaddy suddenly requires you to secure the DB with a password which has a special charter in it. I used in this case @
    OK. I filled all the needed info in wp-config.php.
    When I try to set up wordpress I get the message that the special charakter I used in the Pwd is not accepted:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘@’ in /home/content/g/a/l/galantay/html/comet/wordpress/wp-config.php on line 25

    I tried all other special characters but wp-config doesn’t except any. How can I get around this? I doubt godly will change their policy.

    The database password is the password for the ‘MySQL user’ that you are entering on line 21 of the config file. So make sure you are entering the correct password.

    Secondly, this should not be an issue as it will accept special characters, so make sure you are surrounding the password in single quotes in the config file.
