 * I hate to do this, but I think I just answered my own question. I checked and
   they are using the previous version of WordPress (2.0.5), so I think that’s recent
   enough for me. Hopefully it’s a full featured version. I got rid of my own files
   and ran the installation through GoDaddy’s My Applications and it’s working now.
   I’ll report back if I find that it’s a crappy hobbled version or something.
 * Looking at my data compared to theirs, I see my error. I modified the wrong side
   of the data. I should’ve kept the DB_HOST and instead replaced the other side(
   localhost). Teaches me to do stuff in the middle of the night. Well, I installed
   it on top of the database I had already set up, so no harm and if it is crippled,
   I can just install it myself now that I know what I did wrong. So, in conclusion,
   let this be a lesson to you:
    1. Be careful about what you’re changing in the
   file. 2. Get some sleep. G’night.

 * So, I’m having the same problem. I am using GoDaddy for a Linux (Economy) dedicated
   hosting. I copied down the latest version of WordPress and followed the directions
   to the letter. Here’s what my config file looks like:
    define(‘mydatabasename’,‘
   wordpress’); // The name of the database define(‘myusername’, ‘username’); //
   Your MySQL username define(‘********’, ‘password’); // …and password define(‘
   p3smysql15.secureserver.net’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change
   this value
 * Clearly, I am using the correct database name/username (they’re the same) and
   I’ve checked that my password is correct. My server name looks a little different
   than you guys’, with a preceding p3s, but I copied that directly from the manager.
   Now, I just set up this database a couple hours ago. The tooltip on the manager
   says of the status “setup” that it means: “Setup
    Your account is set up. You
   may still have to wait up to 48 hours before you can upload files to your account(
   FTP), set up databases, or configure your Web site.” That’s what it says for 
   the account, but my database also is listed as setup. Could it be that I have
   to wait up to two days for it to ‘kick in’? I’ve given it a couple hours and 
   I still get: Error establishing a database connection
 * If all of my data (database name, username, password, host server) is correct,
   is my only option to contact their support?
 * Has anyone else tried their version of WordPress that they offer? Is it the same
   as the latest version, all the same features?
