New to PHP and Having bulletin board setup issues with GODADDY hosting.

09/12/2007, 22h22

I have tried following the directions to the letter for setting up
phpBB-2.0.22 on my domain on Godaddy.com and I have enabled the MYSQL server
part but it keeps giving me An error has occurred during installation
The PHP configuration on your server doesn't support the database type
that you chose

Am I missing something here. I tried every variation under the database
type. Do i have to do anything special in the MYSQL on the host to get it to
work on my end?
I have made the config file 666 so it can be read to

Thanks for the info in advance.

Try the support forums on the phpBB web site. They have all kinds of
good information.

Just guessing but godaddy does not supports localhost in MySQL
connection and most packages (like wordpress) use localhost in their
config files.

You may want to see if this is the case.
