Hello,

Apologies for posting a question similar to one asked back in Sept. but the solution offered there does not seem to work in my case. I am able to connect to my GoDaddy hosted site using the absolute hosting path listed in the hosting details section of my GoDaddy admin area, and adding ftp:janbecket.net to the front end (otherwise, I get a no connection message.)

I previously tried the ftps hosting path I use to connect to my site in Cyberduck, but for some reason that does not result in a valid connection.

In my GoDaddy admin area I created a mysql database called PiwigoImages and point the installer there, but the resulting message is that "connection to the database is not possible." I am able to log into the database I created on the Starfield site with the same user name and password I listed in the Piwigo install window. These are the log details above the Piwigo installation window:


Warning: mysqli::mysqli() expects parameter 5 to be long, string given in /home/content/j/a/n/janbecket/html/piwigo/include/dblayer/functions_mysqli.inc.php on line 67

The Piwigo installation window asks for database information that my hosting site will supposedly provide. However, when I called the GoDaddy support line, I was told that they do not offer any support for non-GoDaddy installation scripts. All they are willing to do is point me to my hosting admin area. Basically Iʻm on my own.

BTW, I am currently running Gallery 3 on my site - until I can get Piwigo up and running. Could that be causing the problem?

Thanks!
