installation with GoDaddy hosting.....

[Composition34]

...I've made it  through the install up until the "connect to database" part. 

*I've created plenty of MySql datatbases with other hosting, and connected to them just fine.  But, GoDaddy tells me that I have to use a connection string...which is this:



.....Obviously, I will replace the values with my own database/username/password.......

-My question  is where do I place this code?  I'm sure there's a PHP file somewhere that I place this in?  Or replace one small section somewhere?

THX for any advice here.....

Hello,

1°)Have you seen the unhappiness toward Goddady in the forum ?

2°)Your database provider should give you 4 parameters :
-database hostname,
-database user login,
-database user password,
-database name.
These 4 parameters are what you feed CMSms with.

THX for the reply....

I have my database name, username and password....and I've assinged this user to this database with my hosting....

My question is where do I add this php string?  Do I have to find this similar code in the install files somewhere?

I don't understand your question. What I am saying is that if you follow the installation documentation to the letter you must succeed once you have the 4 parameters given by your database provider. No coding required.
