Super-Fantastic!!
I had this problem as well. I see ThomasHigginbotham’s advise to comment out the two lines. Worked like a charm!!
Oh but for some odd reason lines #53 and #54 are not the same as ThomasHigginbotham’s.
So for future reference here are the two lines to reference out.
if ( !extension_loaded(‘mysql’) )
die( ‘Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress.’ );
I was intrigued by this solution. When you say “reference out,” what do you mean — simply delete the lines?
Commenting out: use two forward slashes (//) at the start of each line for php. Or for multiple lines use an opening /* and then a closing */ at the end of the multiple lines.
For html: use <!-- --> to enclose the stuff you want commented.
Does anyone know how to switch from Windows to Linux hosting in Godaddy without contacting customer service?
I discovered, if you have a DEDICATED GoDaddy Server:
1. You need safemode = off, therefore to change the php.ini with SSN. But the server don’t access the SSN login… And if you ask the GoDaddy people, they charge US$ 50.00 to change the safemode…
Did you know how to edit the php.ini using SSN?
2. Only for information: you must use localhost.
To switch from Windows to Linux at GoDaddy
1. Login and go to My Account.
2. Click on Hosting Account List
3. In the Hosting Account list, click on yourdomain.com (the domain you want to switch hosting for). Be sure to click on the domain name and not “Open,” which will just open your Control Panel.
4. The box on the right will change to Hosting Account Details. Click on Switch Operating System, and it will give you some options.
5. Select your new plan and click Continue, and you’re on your way!
What is the impact from switching from Windows to Linux? Will the existing pages I have still function?
Just found this while doing a search for another thread…
To answer “What is the impact from switching from Windows to Linux? Will the existing pages I have still function?”
The answer is that there is ZERO impact to your current wordpress site. All your existing posts and pages and mods will be just fine. The only way you’d run into any issues is if you were running something that needed the Windows/ASP server to function. It’s highly unlikely, but must be said anyway.
