Im on day 3 trying to install phpBB2 on a goDaddy hosted domain and server… Sadly, I get the same error message. Can someone tell me what it means besides ‘this server blows and godaddy sucks for everything but domain names’ …?

> The PHP configuration on your server doesn’t support the database type that you chose

Could it be that even though the account supports PHP, its on a Windows/ASP environment?

Also, Ive tried with MSSQL but I cant retrieve the information from this computer due to websense… yes - schools are trying to ruin the internet. A little help pleaseeeee:blush:
