I went here & my information looks the exact same (obviously with my information). I think I have come to the conclusion (by reading the google search-thank you!!!), that it will not run on windows based which is what I had. So I just called godaddy to have them to switch it to a linux based system. One of the posts said there is no such thing as MySQL on windows based, but there is because I made one. Hopefully once the linux based is up & running it will all work. Thank you for all your help!

Just to clarify once I get it all uploaded on linux based with my settings, I should then go to that link above that you made as an example & hopefully it should work?

Thank you again!!!

hosting company- godaddy

sorry!

it is on my own domain. I’m obviously new to having my own domain. So far I have created a MySQL database but as far as finding users I have no idea. I never knew this was going to be so complicated. Right under databases on my manager is access which is using DSN types and everything like that. Is this something I have to touch & work with to create usernames? And I am going to look on the forums to see if there is any information about it on there. Thanks again for all the help.

I think it makes sense. I get the table thing when I go into my MySQL directory, which I guess I should not be doing. but on the .php file it says: DB_NAME, which I get when I make the database but then on DB_USER I never find out how to get that. would it be the same as the DB_NAME because when I make the DB_NAME I make a password. I am sorry I seem like a complete idiot when it comes to this stuff (mostly because I am, I normally stick to just creating the websites without blogs). When I put the link in to install I get this:

“Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.”

obviously I am missing something somewhere that I have no idea about. Thanks so much everyone, I am sorry to be wasting your time.
