I have this same problem. I installed wordpress just now on my server and I get the same error. Everything else seems to be working just fine.
Apache version 2.2.8 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.5
MySQL version 5.0.45
I fixed it. It was really simple. I forgot to chmod my files.
I tried doing the same thing aka.calisto posted. That hasn’t worked for me either. I removed all my files from the base directory and reuploaded them. I still have no formatting on my login screen OR admin panel. Anyone have any other suggestions?
This is my problem also. I can’t get the install.php to run. I keep getting the same database error.

ClIcK for example of what’s happening.
P.S. I’m also using Godaddy.
