Hello everyone - first timer here so let me start off by apologizing if this topic has already been covered.  I AM one of those people who try to search through the knowledgebase first for things, but I'm a bit stumped on this one.

Installing the latest version of DNN on a GoDaddy hosting service.  I've already been through Northern Star Solutions' "Shared Hosting Setup" page and managed to set up my SQL server database properly (I think), along with my web.config file.   I created all the necessary virtual folders in the hosting control panel with the proper access permissions, but when I hit the Ctrl-F5 button to complete the installation, it ends up opening up a web browser pointing to my domain, but I get a "Page cannot be displayed" page.

I know the domain is set up right, because I can directly navigate to one of the install pages located on the server, in the "Documentation" folder.  What I DON'T see (and I'm guessing it's my problem), is an "index.html" in my webroot folder (I did a webroot install rather than in a subfolder). 

So my suspicion is that maybe I didn't install the starter kit properly somehow.  Has anyone else experienced this problem after having thought they set up everything properly?   One noteworthy addition - I set up the new site within MS VWD as a ftp connection.  It seems to be working ok (transferring files to the host fine), but not sure if that matters at all.

Anything the group can do to help would be most appreciated!
