WordPress 2.2 _Error tranferring site to new Host

  • I am a Newbie to this and trying to get an answer to my worries:

    I uploaded a working retail site with a wordpress 2.2 intact to a new host and the sql was done without any errors but I am not getting my retail site to come up.
    Instead, the site has a strange index page that says “Just another WordPress weblog.”
    The original retail working site does not show this. It is a retail site and does not come up with the Weblog like it is doing now as the index page.
    Going crazy to find out what went wrong with the upload of the full backup files.
    The website is up and running now because we had to put it back on the original host.

    Am I missing something when I did the upload to the new host even though there were no errors in the upload of the url of the site?
    I uploaded three times to see if it will make a difference.

    ALso when we access the wordpress on the site when it is up and running on its original host, this strange weblog error first page looks nothing like when it is up and running on its original host
    The wording is different and the passwords are different.

    We can usually use a password to access wordpress when the retail website is on its original host. But in this case, the wordpress is the first thing that comes up and the retail site is no where to be found after the upload of files to new host.

    One more thing, once all the files were uploaded without any errors on the new host, there was request by WordPress to do a new setup or something like that and it said that it is loading tables and there will be a new password and username to log in.

    thanks

    We might be on to something here:

    What do you mean by “import the database”

    Do you mean that we go to the old database with the old host and export its database to our hard drive and then upload it to the new new Godaddy server?

    We did not do that import but when we uploaded everything (wp files and website files) and when we saw that there is no errors and we go to Godaddy and see the wp files in there in their sql database with all entered correctly, the so-called wordpress weblog comes up as a sample like a blog with the name of the website on the blog. This comes up without the website and there is definitely no option to import in the blog. It just have the option to provide comments as a blog

    I don’t understand a word from your last paragraph… and I think you don’t either.

    And I repeat: the Codex page HandySolo to (Moving_WordPress) long time ago, has ALL the details you need to know about moving an installation to a new server. If you guys did not follow it, what do you expect? The WP files have no content in them. Ever.

    Below is what the blog that comes up:

    I know what you mean by the 7th time upload. Man we are busting our brains to see what is causing this:

    Below is what the weblog looks like in text:
