I can't seem to connect to my MySQL database on Go Daddy. I
have the db set up for remote access and can connect just fine with
Sequel Pro. But, when I try to connect to build my application in
Dreamweaver I always get "HTTP Error Code 403 Forbidden". I've
spent a good chunk of the last 3 days banging my head against this
problem. At this point I'm thinking of dumping Dreamweaver. I
thought these things were supposed to be easy? Yes, I'm very
frustrated...
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Pls check if your database name is already taken by someone
else on GoDaddy. GoDaddy has a policy that a database name taken on
any website hosted by them cannot be taken by another user.
If your database name was accepted by GoDaddy, see if the first few lines of your SQL file contain code like:
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS . . . or
CREATE DATABASE . . . or
USE . . .
If such lines are there, delete them so that the code starts with:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS . . .
Save the SQL file and try to upload it.
Good luck!
