Hi,

Thanks for the help on this issue. I reloaded everything today, careful not to use the built in installer, but instead editing the config file directly. I’m not 100 percent sure what the problem was, but I think it started from an error in the name of the database host. ‘Localhost’ doesn’t work, and I confirmed that with previous database work I’ve done with Godaddy. So after inputting the correct hostname and double checking everything else it worked. Seems to be okay. (I’m just a little surprised at how sparse it is given the huge number of files uploaded to the server but that’s for another discussion!)

Anyway the problem appears to be resolved. Thanks again for the help!
