Can you help with my Wordpress Installation Error?
Sunday, February 14th, 2010I’m installing wordpress on my GoDaddy domain and I keep getting this error message when I run the install file: Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.
I know there is a lot of literature on how to fix this, but I don’t understand any of it! Could someone please baby me through it?
I’m using Firefox, Mac OS X, and a godaddy hosted account.
Thanks, dhyrm!
I had no idea it was that easy, you just saved me a bunch of time.
What that is telling you is that there is a problem with the Web server itself.
Use GoDaddy’s built-in installer and you should not have these problems:

Alternatively, contact GoDaddy tech support if their installer is causing you trouble.
I remain the last person on Earth who reads technical documentation.
