Does anyone have problems installing wordpress? My site is hosted by godaddy and i set up a mySQL database but when i go to install word press it says Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress. I have edited the config with the correct details and stuff and it is really bugging me, any help is appreciated thanks!
If you change the username in the config file...do you get the same error?? Just want to be sure you are connecting successfully to the database...
double check if you have entered database server name correctly, Normally it is 'localhost' but some host gives different server name (godaddy is in this category).
If it's a problem with the hostname I think the installer would have specifically told you that. It sounds like it's a problem with your PHP setup which is why I think you need to talk to godaddy.
I have wordpress on a godaddy account and had the same problems, i was using localhost which was incorrect, also, the cpanel for creating mysql didnt givem me the option for a db user name, few minutes messing around i figured it was the db name. just triple check the info your providing is correct, the db server, db name, db username and db pass.
