[Webcollab-users] Installing on godaddy

[cdcarter <cd...@ca...>]

I'm trying to install webcollab on a godaddy account. I gather the setup.php
script won't work with their system, so I set up a sql database manually and
made the following changes to the config.php file:

//DATABASE OPTIONS

  define('cdcarter', "" );
  define('cdcarter', "" );
  define('mypassword', "" );

  //Database type (valid options are "mysql", "postgresql", "mysql_innodb"
and "mysqli")
  define('DATABASE_TYPE', "mysql" );

  //Database host (usually "localhost")
  define('DATABASE_HOST', "p41mysql103.secureserver.net" );

When I try to log in, I get the following message:

Sorry but there seems to be a problem in connecting to the database server

Has anybody else managed to make it work with Godaddy?

Change the above to something like this:

//DATABASE OPTIONS

  define('DATABASE_NAME', 'cdcarter' );
  define('DATABASE_USER', 'cdcarter' );
  define('DATABASE_PASSWORD','mypassword' ); 

That should help matters considerably :-)

These two look fine.

Yes, and that's just the standard error message with the above problem.

Hope that helps.
