Hmmm
Haven't had that problem before. Make sure you are using a MySQL database and it is version 5.0. and PHP version 5.x or better. I'm guessing you are using an existing server and not one you just set up? You can check these versions in the control panel in your hosting account. I have also had an instace like this when godaddy didn't transfer all the files over corretly and the fix was just to delete Joomla and then reinstall it. You could try that as well.
Let me know.

Is your admin side working? You can type in www.yoursite.com/administrator to get to it and then enter the admin log in details.

Estev and all,
Godaddy.com as well as other vendors will install Joomla 1.5 for you and set up your database. The install process is pretty easy. Just make sure you keep your pen ready for some user ids and passwords. Here are the steps.
1. Create an account at Godaddy. Buy a domain name. Purchase a server(I recommend a delux hosting for about $7.00/mo unless you are running a mega church or just want a dedicated server at $45/mo). Make sure your server is running Linux and not Microsoft(Joomla is compatible with MS but Linux runs better) and has the latest versions of PHP and MySQL (it'll ask you during set up which versions you want just pick the most recent).
2. Once your domain name is acitivated and your sever is set up (they'll send you e-mails letting you know) you'll need to have GoDaddy install Joomla.
3. To have GoDaddy install Joomla -
a. log into your account.
b. hover over the menu bar on "hosting" and then click on "My Hosting Account"
c. click on "manage account" next to the web site that has hosting in blue to the left.
d. You should see a "control" panel where you can access the files stored on your server as well as install apps (like Joomla :) ).
e. Click on "Your apps" and you'll see the apps you can download and install in the left menu. Joomla is located under "Content Management".
f. click on "Joomla" and follow the set up procedure.
****Note**** make sure you delete the word "joomla" from your root directory or you'll have to type in www.mysite.com/joomla to access your site vs. having to type in just www.mysite.com
****Note**** this is just one way of installing joomla on one server type. if you are just playing around with joomla to experiment or just looking to build a joomla web site for personal/small business use this will work. if you need to do anything more with your site like large mulitmedia, have a large user base, worry about site security, ect. you will need to find an alternative to this setup that is customized to your needs specifically.****Note****
Hope this helps.
Chris
