Installing on godaddy need help

[Jglover4168]

Cant get it to install. I think the problem is that I can't name the database hotaru because it says it's already being used. I tried naming the db something else but then when I go to install it doesn't go any farther any ideas?

You can choose another DB name in hotaru_settings.php:

define("DB_NAME", 'hotaru');

May be you should try with different names. I have got the same problem but when I tried with other name that was did.

Can you indicate at what step you had the problem? and what the error message said exactly?

Maybe if you could point me to your url or show a screenshot we can pinpoint the answer straight away

Thanks

Go to My Account > Web Hosting > Click Launch.

In the Hosting Details page, go to Databases > MySQL

In the Manage Databases page, look for your database, click Actions > Details

Here, look for "Hostname", it should be of the format p*********.secureserver.net.

Copy the above and replace it with "localhost" in the hotaru_setttings.php file.

So, you should have


define("DB_HOST", 'p*********.secureserver.net');

instead of


define("DB_HOST", 'localhost');
