 * I’m not sure which version, the readme txt says version 2. 2001
 * I’m an advanced user and I can’t get WP to install. I’m using a GoDaddy mySql
   running mySql v 4.1, apache
 * I have gone over the config.php several times and when I call up the install 
   program I get this:
 * Error establishing a database connection
 * So, it’s GoDaddy, or my config.php file is wrong. Can you guys take a look at
   my config.php and see if you can spot something I missed?
 * Thanks.

 * godaddy doesn’t use localhost to connect to the database but something similar
   to
    `p50mysql.secureserver.net` or `mysql33.secureserver.net` look in the db 
   manager for the exact connection
