I got this info in my hand:

hostname: pim1213x3432x22.secureserver.net
database name = database user name : mydatabase

this is the information I got, now where to put it here:

My SQL host:

Did you read the documentation that comes with Coppermine and that is available online as well (link at the very top of this screen)? If not, do so now. If yes, then describe the actual question: are the input fields on the install screen not clear? What field do you have issues with?

[Nancy4]

yea..I read it all  the problem is not the install itself, I install my PHPBB forums all same easy, and I put the information of database in correct place...here not, I can't figure where to put the information of database in the proper fields

what I meant to ask, in what fields of this two i mentioned on the install, I should put my two database information I mentioned too? cause that wat make the problem " can't connect to database with this information "

sorry for my silly questions again

If the installer doesn't accept the data that you entered, your db access data must be wrong - you should review them. You can use the same database access data that you used for your forum -  you might want to look those data up in your forum's setup panel. We can hardly help you with determining what data you have to enter for your webhost.
I'm particularly unsure about the word "pim", nor do I believe that a big webhoster like GoDaddy is actually using a database name like "database". As I suggested: look up the proper data in your forum if that is up and running or ask your webhost for the actual database access data.
Just for clarification: the database details need to go into the fields

Code Select Expand

MySQL Host:
MySQL Database Name:
MySQL Username:
MySQL Password:
If you're convinced that that the access data you have posted above is actually correct, then try the following:

Code Select Expand

MySQL Host: 1213x3432x22.secureserver.net
MySQL Database Name: database
MySQL Username: mydatabaseYou will of course have to provide the password as well.

well, tried but didn't work with the sure correct information, now I'm sure Godaddy doesn't support manual install!  any one managed to install coppermine on godaddy host manually?!

I have one Coppermine installed automatically from godaddy,

Take a look at your include/config.ins.php file from that install and see what info is put in the there regarding the database.

[Joachim Müller]

I'm sure Godaddy doesn't support manual install!

Why not? They don't need to actively support you performing the install: if the installer doesn't accept the database data, they should be able to tell you if the db access data is correct. That's independent of the application install and something they should support imo.

any one managed to install coppermine on godaddy host manually?!

Yes, there have been reports that people were able to install Coppermine on GoDaddy manually.

Now I have answered your questions as good as I possibly could; why don't you answer the questions I posted: what fields do you have issues with. What error message do you get after doing what. What's the URL of your installer?

wow!!! that was the most simple but hard solution!    you don't know how it helped some one noob like me! 
I managed to install it finally using that simple way! know what is put where from the automatic install config file and then did the same order with my new db information on the manual install config (sample) file.. and installed my first manual coppermine!  that was so great help for me in other applications too as I still learn  thanks so much!

I'm so so thankful for your help and your patience on a noob kid like me!  now after finally installing i'm going to read the themes documents here and the way it work, hope I can understand it all from first time!  sorry for the headache I made and thanks so much again!
