Database error with GoDaddy
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hello,
I know there are many entries with this type of problem and I have spent hours reading through most of them. GoDaddy has told me that they can not help me since I am installing a 3rd party software they can not help.
As I start the installation on the url and go to enter the info which I have checked multiple times and I have it correct but continue to get the: "Unable to connect to database"
Anyone who has run into this problem with GoDaddy have any new suggestions?? Please help I have spent too many hours stuck here.

I have got pretty much the same problem.
So the support told me they cant help with 3rd party software etc.
maybe you can help.
The problem at the moment is i cant use the FTP to edit the file, i would guess it is down or something but if made these changes it should work?
because im confussed why i have to tell concrete5 this why and through the installing panel on my domain where to look for the mysql database

I am sorry you are having issues with setting up Concrete5 on Go Daddy hosting. I would be more than happy to help with this.
First, did you setup the database in your Go Daddy hosting account? If you have not, you can use this guide to setup the database:http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/36/creating-mysql-or-sql-se...
Second, have you updated the /confige/site.php with the correct connection information for the created database? This file will have these fields:
define('DB_SERVER', 'XXX');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'YYY');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'ZZZ');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'YYY');
This information is mostly the information you picked out when you setup the database. The username and database name will be the same. The password will be what you picked out when you setup the database. The server name you can locate in your hosting account; it will not be localhost.
To Find the Host Name for Your Database
1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. Click Web Hosting.
3. Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch.
4. In the Databases section of the hosting Control Panel, click MySQL or MSSQL depending on the database type for which you want the host name.
5. From your list of databases, click Actions next to the database you want to use, and then click Details.
Your database host name displays in the Hostname field.
If you have completed both these steps and are still having issues with the setup can you please provide the domain name and I can take a look for you.
