[solved] Could not connect to database error on install

[ajohnson]

I use Godaddy for a shared host. They use an off site MySQL database host. When I get to the point in the install process that  I enter in the database infornation, I get the error that it can't connect to the database. Doing a search on the forum here, I find several solutions but they don't seem to apply to my situation. Maybe they do, but because I don't know anything about PHP or MySQL, I don't see it. I took a few screen shots if that helps. For the host name, I tried both mysql119.secureserver.net and mysqladmin2.secureserver.net:37025 as both are listed in different places in the MySQL admin panel. I checked for extra spaces before and after the username and pwd etc, but cannot connect. I can connect to the DB from the admin panel so I assume the username and pwd are right. I downloaded CMSMS ver .13, the PHP ver is PHP 4.3.11 the MySQL ver is 4.0.24 and the Apache ver is 1.3.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Ah never mind. I tried mysql119.secureserver.net again for the 30th? time and it worked.

I just experienced the same problem. Strangely, GoDaddy didn't at first accept the signin for the database, but after a few minutes (and after reading this string above) I tried it again and it worked!?
