I am trying to install on shared hosting with GoDaddy

I do not have access to the root. This is the string that has worked with other programs:

p41mysql9.secureserver.net . /home/content/l/i/b/libby86/html

This is the message I receive:
Could not connect to database; check your settings.
The mySQL error was: Unknown MySQL server host 'p41mysql9.secureserver.net . /home/content/l/i/b/libby86/html ' (1)

No error messages.

Hi!

That is a strange server connect string, I can't imagine this ever worked?!

Try "p41mysql9.secureserver.net" only. That path you enter there should be not relevant at all.

HTH,

I tried every combination without luck. I found a post from about 2 years ago who suceeded. I PM him but no reply yet.

Hi!

Are you really sure? The servername only should really work!

Garvin

Problem resolved. GoDaddy recently added 1.1.2 It's up and running.
Now on to shared hosting.

Thanks everyone
