(SOLVED) Installing Prestashop on GoDaddy - Need help with creating a database on Go Daddy

[bhfashionco]

Hi,

I am a newbie and was having trouble with creating a database in Go Daddy for step 3 in the installation. How do I do this in Go Daddy? What do I fill in? Help!

Log in to your cPanel, then click the "MySQL" icon under "Databases", then create a new database called something like "yoursite_db", then create a user called something like "yoursite_usr", then add that user to the database, then enter those details on the third step of the PrestaShop installation.

Thanks for your help! Still got a few questions..

What do I put in as the "Database server name" ? Attached is a screen shot of the Go Daddy database page. What info do I need to fill in the database config in presta shop? Whats the difference between database name & login?

Database server name = any_name_you_want

The database config is in the next screen after you create the DB.

Hi, thanks for your response.

Im still having a bit of trouble. I created my database in Go Daddy and and when I put in my database name and user name I get the same message:

Database server was not found. Please verify the login, password, and database server name fields.

Am I doing something wrong?

Is there someone out there that has created a site with Go Daddy?

Enter into PHPMyAdmin and you should see the full path of you MySQL host server.
You should copy that path and paste it instead of "localhost" than just fill out user dbname and password and it should work.
