Well chu'betta (being silly here on 2nd cup of coffee already) open your own thread up and ask for help IF my tip here does not work!

Scroll to the part with this info and follow it:

after giving values in Database Name and Technical Email Address

coming down to MASTER DATABASE SERVER NAME AND PORT

here

$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = DO NOT GIVE ANY OF THESE VALUES 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1';

THIS IS IMPORTANT, After Logging into your Account Manager in GoDaddy Click Launch button which is towards Domain and in Next Screen you will find Three Green Color TABS on Top Left Corner DOMAINS | HOSTING | EMAIL . Click on HOSTING. Here come down to DATABASES and Click on MySQL and ADD a database with a DATABASE NAME this DB Name you have to give in config.php.new file which I mentioned above, you will have to give this value in DATABASE NAME field.

OK, now coming back to server host name

After creating the database in MYSQL in GoDaddy Account Manager, Click on the database name and you will get all the details of that database. Click on the INSTALL button towards DSN, this will help you to connect your database to your website, and below that you will find HOSTNAME, Copy this hostname and paste it .....

Here,

$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'PASTE IT HERE';

you will find this entry in config.php.new file (Remember DO NOT GIVE THE VALUE 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1')

and then

$config['MasterServer']['port'] = '3306';

REMEMBER TO PUT SINGLE QUOTES TO PORT NUMBER.

So to sum it up, with GoDaddy you can't leave localhost in the config, you enter in the values shown to you within your control panel on Godaddy that he mentions how to check. If you're getting to 76%~ though I'd imagine you had this part sorted... most using vB5 a few years back were steering clear of Godaddy so not sure if you may want to or not as I'm not actively working on any vB5 sites, no lie none .
