Godaddy SQL problem

  • My domain is hosted by Godaddy; SQL appears to be managed by a third party called Starfield Technologies and there is no choice for the created database–it’s the same as the username. The only choices are new table name and number of fields.

    The error message is: Error establishing a database connection
    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost.

    Here are the customized script lines:
    <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘neaston’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘neaston’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘********’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

  • I don’t get where this file is located:

    /home/content/p/b/e/pbeane/html/wordpress/wp-login.php

    The file with the error will be ‘wp-config.php’
    You should be able to see that in your file manager.

    I thought the file with the error was wp-login… but I don’t know 100% if it is and I don’t want to mess my wordpress files up.

    I’m 99.9999999999999% certain it’s wp-config.php.
    After all, at this stage it is the only file you have edited ?

    Ok, thanks!

    Isn’t this right?

    <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘plbeane94’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘plbeane94’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘******’); // …and password
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysql33.secureserver.net’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

    // Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
    $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’

    // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’
    // to enable German language support.
    define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

    /* Stop editing */

    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
    require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
    ?>

    That is probably very correct, but please re-read the link I posted above.
    After that last
    ?>
    there is probably a space or two, and PHP being as picky as it is, it just won’t play ball until they are gone ??

    Nope, I checked, no spaces.

    Did you just look ?

    Did you definitely do those stpes in the link above ? It is really important that you do.
    Please paste the first 15 lines of your error message after doing the numbered list.

    NickEaston, if you haven’t given up, WordPress *can* indeed be made to work on GoDaddy. You have configuration issues. If you come back, we will help you with them….

    I have installed several times onto GoDaddy’s servers, both windows and linux. I have not experienced any problems at all in doing so, and I actually find their control panel for database creation more friendly than those hosts that use cpanel.

    Podz, you are tireless. I commend you heartily. Thanks for keepin’ it friendly. ??

    thats the first 15 of the error

    Check wp-config.php, line 23.
