OK guys adding the following to .htaccess worked for me:
RedirectMatch 301 /~o9517725(.*) /$1
I’m sure there’s a better way to solve this, but this will be fine for now.

Just wondering if anyone has solved this, because I’m having the same problem.

I recommend you contact GoDaddy support and tell them about the error. They should be able to sort out the name servers for you.

Yes

You could always set up a remote server and set up the theme’s directory as a site in Dreamweaver if all else fails.

In Dashboard > Appearance > Menus create a home menu item with whatever title you want and put the URL as /

Is MySQL definitely running? Have you made the database and user?

Is the domain definitely pointing at the server?

Put the database information for the remote server as it’s where WordPress will run and will mean you don’t need to copy the database =)

If you want to test completely locally however, you’ll need to setup a local database and transfer it to the server afterwards.
