 * I have done the installation on Godaddy and get the error message that the SQL
   data base extension is not recognized. I tried local host, h41msql52.secureserver.
   net and Annestern.db.2815910.hostedresource.com which is what godaddy says. HELP!

 * > that the SQL data base extension is not recognized
 * that won’t have anything to do with the db connect info
 * either godaddy does not have this extension installed or you are trying to use
   mssql instead of mysql
