Did you copy in the plugin folder any external plugin before installing ?

I had the same problem. The reason was I did not enter server host correctly in config file. After I corrected it is now working fine. Give correct infomations to db table, db name and specially sever host name. To find correct server host name contact the Godaddy support team.

As the error message says, it cannot find the table. So the database config might be wrong.

PS: I would not go for godaddy if it comes to hosting. Only if it is a small simple project, that can be slow...

I think that if you do not enter a correct server host you cannot connect to the db either...
Here the connection to the database has been *successfully* established, and a query is being executed (but the query does not find a table).
Here's a link to a similar issue :

No external plugins must be "installed" before initializing the q2a database

Another possible thing to check is that the database *user* has all the necessary grants : "create table", and so on.
But in this case in the error_log there should be another error too (before this one)..... .

Hi,

the issue is that the server is not allowing to create tables through web. so i hosted in local and copied the tables in the hosting server and it solved.

@robindas, glad to know you've solved your issue.
But I've not understood your problem and how you solved it.
What do you mean with : "the server is not allowing to create tables through web"  ? How did you "copy" your tables ?
