Call them up, they’re pretty good about customer service. Demand that they put something on your login dashboard

kinda, but you’re right, you can’t edit the database or anything. so if you lose your password, you’re screwed.

i did find it in the faq. and by “somewhere” you have no idea. i searched for like an hour. (then again, it was six am…) it’s like they’re trying to hide something.

yeah, but how come there isn’t a list inside your logon? Like when you click hosting to view/edit your account. I don’t want to compare packages, i want to log in, and then click on my account, and have a button that tells me exactly what’s on that compare page without the comparisons… and tell me which version of php and mysql are running… without having to go to those separate two pages. how come i’m the only one who gets this?!

-> Compare Linux/Windows plans

lampp is the standard, so Linux(unix) apache (2.x me thinks) php (hopefully 5 by now) and perl (5.x probably). You can probably find it in a faq somewhere on the site seeing as it would be a standard accross the board.

I didn’t know GoDaddy offered WP. That’s kindof cool.

Ya, I couldn’t find a list, however I do know that Java is client-side, so it has nothing to do with your hosting – it depends on the visitor’s browser. Perl is usually a standard, but I don’t know which versions are supported.

I hear with host-provided applications like WordPress, they don’t let you play with the database manually, because you might break it.

i was looking for a list which told me not only the php and mysql versions above (not in two separate places) but what languages (and versions if necessary) it could support. like whether it could handle apache, perl, java, etc. I can find a list outside if you go in to compare packages, but you’d think they’d have a list inside your hosting. i was just annoyed. on a side note, I found out that godaddy already has the option to add on wordpress to your site, so you don’t have to do wordpress’ 5 minute install. but i like the control of being able to do it on my end.

Woah, I misread you.

“On a related side note, if anyone is also living at godaddy (or was at some point) where the hell do they put what’s installed and what versions of which are on your server?! i figured there’d just be an info button living somewhere, and i could click it and life would be happy. I managed to find my version of php and mysql, but that’s it.”

I thought you said you needed to know about PHP and MySQL.

What exactly are you looking for?

… i added to the end of the .htaccess file that wordpress made. it hasn’t gotten rid of/overwrote what i’ve had yet.

i knew how to get the php and the mysql info, but thanks anyways gavin.
