Stuck on Step One of Installation!

    • Posted 2 years ago #

    Help! I am using Go Daddy and I've already installed bbpress in the subdomain file of my directory. when I go to the site, it does show me the installer but when I enter the info it says there's a problem connecting to the database. I've called Go Daddy to make sure that the database name and password I'm entering is correct. Can anyone help with this?

    make sure the db details are correct (database name, username, password, hostname)

    I have and I've called them twice to make sure. Not sure what else to do at this point? I know all that info is correct. Not sure what could be the problem. They will not support bbpress.

    GoDaddy is a bit tricky... maybe this will help?

    nice!

    You need to enter the correct hostname. Head over to this : http://help.godaddy.com/article/39

    Thanks guys. I did have the correct db name and password. But off that other post

    You must change the line in the config.php file that says:

    define('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost'); //

    Where do I need to change that?

    In your config file in the root of your bbpress installation... you can edit it in any plaintext editor.

    It looks something like this:
