In reply to: The GoDaddy Installation Fixholocron —> I really appreciate your words.
holocron –>
slargent –> As for the “rich text editor” fix, I fear you have read something into my instructions I didn’t intend. If you are referring to STEP FIVE above…it was meant as a caution in general and not aimed specifically at a ‘rich text editor’ fix. As noted it is prefered to use a program to edit a php file that actually recognizes a php file for what it is and cautions that some text editors will save the output as a txt file which of course will not work. I did not intend to suggest a fix to that problem…only to watch out for it.holocron –> The above follows every step of the Famous 5 Minute Install…with the additional steps needed to work around specific GoDaddy issues. And as you can see from the notes above, it apparently is working.
As for the CHMOD recommendations being invalid…I beg to differ. I too have had no trouble, as you noted, in installing previous versions of WP. But with version 2.x, for which these instructions were written, the ‘writes’ must turned on for a successful installation…which they are not, by default, in new GoDaddy accounts.
kellyfl –> Wonderful point and VERY important! Using the Linux I didn’t realize Windows guys were seeing something different!
slargent –> You might just give GoDaddy support a call and see if they will change it for you.
holocron –> I’m pleased you have had no trouble in installing WP. And thanks for your help. For many who have posted hundreds of notes about their frustrations, there apparently is something different about 2.x and the above instructions appear to help those who find themselves stuck.

In reply to: The GoDaddy Installation FixShweels –> Thanks and congrats!
egwg —-> You are correct some FTP clients don’t allow you, or make it difficult, to change the “numerical” permissions.You will or should, however, see 9 check boxes. Note their current positions (that configuration is what gives you the “755”) as you’ll need to return them to that state after installation.
To change to “777” make sure ALL are checked.
Don’t forget to change them back in step 13. Good luckForum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: The GoDaddy Installation Fixholocron —> The issue address here is not trouble in uploading to GoDaddy, but in hopefully answering many of the problems hundreds are having in getting 2.x installed once there. If you’ve found the Holy Grail in doing it, please share!

In reply to: The GoDaddy Installation Fixluckylady777 –> You should not set all of your “files” to 777…just the highest folder (the one which contains all of the WP files and folders). Leave the individual files alone. That could be your problem. And, though I’m sure you’ve done this, double check the ‘mysql49.secureserver.net’ address.
Good luck.

In reply to: how to make the databaseThe database is set up through your hosting company. You don’t use WordPress to set it up.

In reply to: New problem with installing in Go Daddy…You must have a GoDaddy account which has “php” activated. For instance PHP is available with the Economy Linux account…but not Economy Windows.

You must get it changed or it will never work. You need an ftp program to do it. There are many out there…among the free ones: http://www.smartftp.com/

In reply to: The GoDaddy Installation FixWhat’s important…actually absolutely necessary…is that your plan must include “php”. Under the economy plan, “php” is only available on a Linux. Higher plans include “php” on both server types.

In reply to: The GoDaddy Installation FixIf you used ftp software to upload the files (CuteFTP, WS-FTP, etc.), then simply right-click on the file folder and then choose ‘PROPERTIES/CHMOD’. There you will see the “permissions” box with “755” in it. Change that to ‘777’ in STEP EIGHT. And later don’t forget to change it back as part of the last step.
