After checking and rechecking my input info, I finally realized that I was using the incorrect Username and Password. DOH!!
Thanks to all for the help.
OK. The info I received from GoDaddy as far as the info to connect to the database changed in wp-config-sample.php and look something like this:
DB_NAME: xxxxwordpress
DB_USER: xxxxwordpress (Happens to be the same as DB name)
DB_PASSWORD: xxxxxxxx
DB_HOST: blah.db.1234567.hostresource.com (No other info except IP Address like xxx.xxx.xxx.x via TCP/IP)
These are set in wp-config-sample.php as instructed in installation isntructions. Authentication Unique Keys and Salts phrases generated and inserted.
Contacted GoDaddy Support but no reply yet.
Any other ideas?
