Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: GoDaddy and mod_rewriteI too lost mod_rewrite with GoDaddy, the reason for me was upgrading from the Basic service to the Deluxe CGI/PHP option. During the update there is a 72 hr period during which some things (including mod_rewrite) are disabled. I had a customer service rep confirm this for me.
After 72 hrs mod_rewrite became available again, and all my WordPress features worked again (previously I’d lost permalinks, trackbacks, categories, comments etc). Everything is fine now (ianozsvald.com)
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: more godaddy installation problemsI’ve gotten my installation to work with a GoDaddy basic subscription (http://www.ianozsvald.com), it was pretty painless.
First I uploaded everything to the root directory, then I made a database, edited wp-config.php with my username and password and I got:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_bloginfo() in /home/content/i/a/n/ianozsvaldCom/html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 304
then noting the post here at “2005-05-03 20:39:05” I went back to wp-config.php and replaced
‘localhost’
with
‘mysql23.secureserver.net’
as specified under ‘Host Name’ on the GoDaddy database config page (where you can ‘Open Manager’, ‘Delete Database’ and see the Type, Status, DB Name, User Name, Size and Created fields). I uploaded again, ran
http://www.ianozsvald.com/wp-admin/install.php
and everything went fine.Not a 5 minute install…more like 7 minutes. I’m pretty happy with that! Maybe someone would add a caveat to the wp-config.php file stating that GoDaddy can’t use ‘localhost’? This seems to have caused confusion for a few people. Thanks for such a simple-to-install product, it looks very intuitive – great UI!
