Is your server on GoDaddy a "hosted server" or a "VPS"?
Do you have the correct php directives turned on?
Often, when I try to do what you are trying I prefer to get a fresh copy of Moodle running on the new server, then I "import" the old database and reinstall the moodledata folder contents. I always like to make sure that a clean copy of Moodle can run just fine on the new server. This also allows me to double-check that all server settings are correct.
