How to get GoDaddy to connect to db?

Question

I've been trying to get a quick staging environment setup on GoDaddy all day.

By using die('foo') I can tell that GoDaddy is able to reach all of my files (public/index.php, craft/config/db.php and general.php). I have created two different databases and users to try to connect to. I am also using the hostname's generated by GoDaddy.

However, even with the correct db information and knowing for a fact that Craft is able to find my db.php file, when I browser to mydomain.com/index.php?p=admin/install I'm still receiving the following error:

Craft can’t connect to the database with the credentials in craft/config/db.php.

db.php

/**
 * Database Configuration
 *
 * All of your system's database configuration settings go in here.
 * You can see a list of the default settings in craft/app/etc/config/defaults/db.php
 */

// die('foo');

return array(

    // The database server name or IP address. Usually this is 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1'.
    'server' => 'dbhost',

    // The name of the database to select.
    'database' => 'dbname',

    // The database username to connect with.
    'user' => '***',

    // The database password to connect with.
    'password' => '***',

    // The prefix to use when naming tables. This can be no more than 5 characters.
    'tablePrefix' => 'craft',

);
