Title: MySQL/PHP errors Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # MySQL/PHP errors * Resolved [rastasean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rastasean/) * (@rastasean) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mysqlphp-errors/) * Hello All, * I gave up on trying to setup RSS feeds last night so I came here to setup a blog for my website but I am not having much luck. I have godaddy economy hosting and they tell me I have Mysql servers and I created an account, but I don’t know what to do. I uploaded ALL the wordpress files and when you go to the site all you get is Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress. [http://www.rastasean.net/wordpress](http://www.rastasean.net/wordpress) * What exactly do I need to do for the SQL database? What are these tables the SQL database is talking about? * I am totally lost!! you may email me if you want sean @ rastasean dot net * Any help would be great!!

Login to your account at [http://www.godaddy.com](http://www.godaddy.com) 2. Hover over Hosting & Servers, click on My Hosting Account 3. Click on your domain name under the Hosting Account column 4. On the right, click on Upgrade/Downgrade Hosting Plan 5. Select the new plan. Any plan with PHP is preferable, but a Deluxe Windows with CGI will also work. * Also, please note WordPress does not work with accounts that Godaddy calls “Free with Domain”. * Please note an Econony PHP – Linux will work just fine. * Thread Starter [rastasean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rastasean/) * (@rastasean) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mysqlphp-errors/#post-649330) * Oh, good lord everything needs more money doesn’t it? hehe. * As far as you are concerned, is there any reason I should do Linux? Will it handle more than windows or anything? * [MichaelH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh/) * (@michaelh) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mysqlphp-errors/#post-649331) * Linux is just fine–unless you have some need for a feature of a windows plan– but that would be some need not related to WordPress. * Doesn’t mean your own local PC can’t be Windows. * Please note, that WordPress won’t cost you a cent more, and this advice is provided for only $1,000,000.00. I’ll send you the bill 😉 * Thread Starter [rastasean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rastasean/) * (@rastasean) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mysqlphp-errors/#post-649332) * One last q before the upgrade, will Deluxe Hosting with ASP hosting with linux be fine? * the check is in the electronic mail! * [MichaelH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh/) * (@michaelh) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mysqlphp-errors/#post-649333) * I don’t believe there is such an animal. * Just go for the Economy Linux (isn’t it the same price as the Economy Windows). If you don’t like it upgrade later. * Thanks for that money. I’m off to Aruba. * [MichaelH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh/) * (@michaelh) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mysqlphp-errors/#post-649334) * Also note, that the change to a Linux account may take 4-24 hours to be completely active. * Thread Starter [rastasean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rastasean/) * (@rastasean) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mysqlphp-errors/#post-649336) * Arg, upgraded and canceled the windows account and I still get this so far: Your domain rastasean.net is not available for this hosting account. Setup can not continue because this domain is being used by the following application: Hosting * Off to the store. Maybe it will clear up by the time I come back. * [MichaelH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh/) * (@michaelh) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mysqlphp-errors/#post-649337) * It could take a while as I said before. * Thread Starter [rastasean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rastasean/) * (@rastasean) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mysqlphp-errors/#post-649349) * Okay, it looks like the linux server is online. Is there an easier way to upload all the files? Last time I created a directory for every folder and then put the files in it. There has to be an easier way!!! * [MichaelH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh/) * (@michaelh) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mysqlphp-errors/#post-649383) * Get FileZilla. Then review [Uploading WordPress to a remote host](http://codex.wordpress.org/Uploading_WordPress_to_a_remote_host). You can upload the complete WordPress set of files in a single upload. * Thread Starter [rastasean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rastasean/) * (@rastasean) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mysqlphp-errors/#post-649397) * Well I’ll try all of this when I get home tonight and if everything goes well, I’ll start blogging. Hopefully I can mark this “resolved” very soon. * thanks!! * Thread Starter [rastasean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rastasean/) * (@rastasean) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mysqlphp-errors/#post-649513) * This is now a successfully resolved problem! Now if I could understand RSS feeds for podcasting!
