GoDaddy database connection error - HELP!!!

[cinbou]

I've installed Zencart on a GoDaddy hosted site. I created a MYSQL 5.0 database in GoDaddy to store the zencart tables. I've entered what I believe to be the appropriate database details (username, database name, database host, password) on Zencart Database page, but keep getting the following errors:

xPROBLEMS FOUND
Connection to Database failed
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'p50mysql43.secureserver.net'

Has anyone run into this error? I've been working on this for two days!!!

Thanks,
Cindy

It is all about insuring that the details are correct - many start out on Go Daddy and install with success

Sometimes godaddy has to appoint you a username and password for you to connect, I would contact them and see what they say, this is usually the problem.

I didn't need to call GoDaddy, my problem was I left the host set to "Localhost" as was stated in the install that usually that's what needs done. For GoDaddy instead what I had to do was go into the Mysql manager and goto the database information to find the host info.

Thanks to mspieker, finding the host was the trick I needed!
