Hello all. I am attempting to install my brand new, licensed copy of UBB.threads. I've successfully uploaded all files, set permissions properly, successfully connected to install.php but am hung up on the "enter database information" step.

I've gotta believe that my problem here is server name. I've checked and double-checked my database name, database user, database password. All are definitely right.

For server name I tried "local_host" and failed right away. I tried the "host name" that GoDaddy provided me - a long string that looks like this: p41mysql103.secureserver.net - and it too failed right away. Called godaddy, they said "try mysql.secureserver.net" and at least the step seems to think awhile - maybe 30 or 40 seconds as it tries to connect - then it comes back with "failed." Any suggestions?

PS - I was having so much fun too! Like a kid on xmas morning....
