Thanks to both of you for trying to help.

interlude22,

I am unable to find any details like some sort of prefix to go in front of mysqlXXX.secureserver.net.

I don’t ever remember seeing any whenever I set it up either. Were they letters or numbers?

I even went in and set permissions on the root folder to 777 and did a total reinstall, as suggested in another post. No good there either.

Interestingly though, I received an unsolicited phone call from GoDaddy support this evening. I had not yet resorted to calling them for help (but it was my next thing to do). So I guess either they were watching my account and seeing me founder at WP installation, or they read this forum and picked out my account by the details I posted here.

At the time I was far from my computer and couldn’t benefit from their help, but will call tomorrow and see what they can do. Will let you know how it turns out. Surely they can tell me what I’ve done wrong.

Thanks again,

John
