Hi, I read many posts about problems with hosting on Godaddy.com because there was problem with LOCK TABLES.
Does somebody known how is situation now?
Is it working now?

I known that there are also some other hostings, but Godaddy.com has price and parameters which I can accept.

Thank you

I have two shared hosting accounts there (for the past 18 months) and haven't had any troubles. I just (yesterday) purchased a Vitual dedicated with them and will be moving about 6 sites over there in the next week. If you remind me I'll let you know how that goes. I expect to need to upgrade MySQL and also deal with the PLESK issues that arise, but that is pretty normal at most hosting companies that I've checked.

Oh right, - both of the shared hostings are running minimal versions of 4.7 (one is a simple blog and one is just Acidfree)

Good Luck.

I receive the following error at my godaddy hosted site:
"user warning: Access denied for user: 'user@%' to database 'database' query: LOCK TABLES cache WRITE in /home/content/u/s/e/site/html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120." I'm paying for godaddy's bare minimum hosting solution; the server OS I decided to go with is Linux.

Godaddy responded as such follows:

Question:

In uploading and configuring Drupal (my CMS) I've encountered the following error: "user warning: Access denied for user: 'user@%' to database 'database' query: LOCK TABLES cache WRITE in /home/content/u/s/e/site/html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120." This error is caused because I do not have global lock-table privileges for my database/name user/user. Can I please have godaddy grant me the privileges; or would you please explain to me how I am supposed to set privileges myself?

Gratefully,

Marvin Fowler

Although I've been a Go Daddy domain name customer for years and think they're great for that purpose, I quickly learned that, at least for me, there was no way they were going to work out in the long run in terms of hosting my Drupal web site.

Please refer to my comments.

Godaddy defaults to php4, so I forced to php5 by adding this to my .htaccess file:

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

if you don't have a .htaccess file in the root of your website, you can create one with just those two lines.. that will force all php to be interpreted by php5.
