Connie, sure. I think my email address is listed in my profile.

can you find out what php version and what mysql version you are running?

[theram4jc]

It says this: mySQL: 4.0.24

And this for php:

By default, PHP 5 files require the .php5 extension, whereas the .php extension will run under PHP 4.

By the last statement, I meant that is what it says for my configuration, so I'm running at least PHP 4. Other than that, I don't know.

I use pixelpost on Godaddy and have no problems you can email me offline if you would like me to look at your settings or whatever to see how they compare to mine.

Hello theram4jc,

I use PP and Godaddy as my host, I can tell you that PP works great; for what I read on your post the config for your database is wrong.
The first thing you need to do is to log on into your control panel (Godaddy log in) and create a database for PP to use, if you already did this skip this step and go to your MYSQL, there you will see your database. Click on the name of the database and this will give you all the information you need, for example this is what my database info looks like:

// database variables - this is info you've received from you hosting service
// those are needed for the script to connect and use MySQL

$pixelpost_db_host= "mysql9.secureserver.net"; // database host, often "localhost"
$pixelpost_db_user= "XXXXX"; // database user
$pixelpost_db_pass= "XXXXX"; // database user password
$pixelpost_db_pixelpost = "XXXXX"; // database

$pixelpost_db_prefix = "pixelpost_"; // table prefix, leave as is unless you want to install multiple blogs on the same database

// pixelpost version

I hope this give you an idea.... post back!
