Couple of recommendations.

For installation and development issues its better to use the farcry-
dev forum:
http://groups.google.com/group/farcry-dev

(note: farcry-user is for users/authors/contributors not developers)

You should be comfortable installing this locally before trying on a
remote system that you will have considerably less control over.  It
will pay dividends in the long run.

If you want to install on a shared host you really ought to be trying
FarCry 5.0 release candidate -- the only reason its release has been
delayed is a pending license change decision.  The FarCry v5 release
(code name Fortress) has been specifically designed to install in
shared hosts:

(note: your godaddy host cannot have an existing FarCry ColdFusion
mapping in place)

If you are referring to the /farcry ColdFusion mapping then this would
have to be done by an administrator at GoDaddy.  Much better to try
the v5 release.

Hope that helps,
