I host with godaddy (i know, everyone hates godaddy but i’m still a novice & they’re pretty user friendly for beginners :~) should i contact them to get the settings? or will they have any idea what i’m talking about?
@royho,
thanks for the info. i’m pretty novice at this & my first attempt at a forum. how do i create a new database? is it as simple as just creating a new folder to drop bbpress in? if so, do i do it inside the main wp database or adjacent to it?
I’ve watched the video and it seems to be very comprehensive, however, upon step 1, I’m getting the following error:
“There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.
Please check the settings, then try again.”
I’ve input the following in the fields
wordpress
mywpdatabase username
mywpdatabase password
localhost
utf8
this field blank

you have any suggestions?
