URL to your eFiction: www.hogwartsgrounds.com
Version of eFiction: 3.5.3
Have you bridged eFiction, if so with what?: No
Version of PHP: PHP Version 5.4
Version of MySQL: I looked all over the account and couldn't find MySQL version but I know GoDaddy runs it.
Have you searched for your problem: (yes/no) Yes
If so, what terms did you try: I saw several people say the workaround to this was to replace the install file that someone linked to in another thread. I did that and followed the directions exactly. It seems to be outdated however because when I replaced the install file it no longer allows me to get to the install screen. So this option no longer seems to be a working solution.
State the nature of your problem: I uploaded the files to the hosting account. I was unable to CHMOD the config.php to 666 because of my host (GoDaddy if that helps). I started the Install and was able to click continue a couple of times and then encountered this error:
A fatal MySQL error was encountered.

Error: ()
Do you have a test account for us? Don't know how to do that
The issue is with an old MySQL command used here, being "TYPE=MyISAM". It's "ENGINE=MyISAM" for some time now so this has become defunct.
Give it a few hours, there will be a version 3.5.5 out, attempting to fix installation errors.
