CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Trying to help out some other people here, as well as myself...

CiviCRM will not install on GoDaddy hosting as is...in previous versions, I was able to do a manual install, but things have changed w/ Joomla 1.5.

I thought I had isolated the bare minimum files I need to install by following thru all the required files, but I can't seem to connect to my database...I get:

Cannot open mysql://username:password@server/database?new_link=true: DB Error: not found

(Obviously, I've taken out my real credentials...here, I've just put the format, but the values in my error are correct for my connection).

I'm sure I'm probably missing some required database connection file, but I can't seem to figure it out...

I KNOW installing this way isn't supported, but for me - and many others - brute force is the ONLY way to get this installed...

Can someone point me in the right direction???

These are the files I'm loading (trying to get the minimum I need to get it to install, then manually copy over the rest):
