Why not contact GoDaddy? They must have a faq section. Dedicated server is far from shared hosting. Hopefully you have it locked down, otherwise you'll have bigger problems than what you're experiencing now.
Here are a few links to Godady's FAQ for Dedicated Linux Servers 1. How to add a domain name to Simple Control Panel 2. How to enable MySql on a Simple Control Panel Honestly, the FAQ isn't too helpful.... I hope that helps, PM me if you want more help.
i tried those but it doesnt work,the godaddy support team says that this is outside there realm of support.It has been nearly 4 days but i still couldn't get my site online.The faq doesnt seems helpful at all.im really in a big trouble
