Upload database from MAMP

OOOPS!
Okay, NVM.
I figured it out in GoDaddy my host. Come to find out I had my SubDomain set up wrong.
Nonetheless, I have an issue with Clean URLS. I was afraid of it, but I have everything set correctly. On my installation to the subdomain it wants to go blank when I log in.
Something is set weird becuase it is wanting everything to go to beta.subdomain.net/beta instead of just beta.subdomain.net as far as I know I have everything set to default.

Not familiar
This is tough to help you with because I'm not really familiar with the GoDaddy setup. This is a matter of needing to know their setup to really help you get clean urls working. There is just something that I'm not seeing. There might be something you need to do with a .htaccess file or some other config thing to make it work.
I'd really search the drupal forums for this. If you can't find something already there ask about it. There are quite a number of people running drupal on GoDaddy who may be able to help.

Thank you
I appreciate the help ghankstef, but I don't think that will help me fix my clean URL issue.
MF, I am digging as hard as possible to find information on this. I'm about to the point of making an assumption that GoDaddy is just no good. They have served me rather well up to this point, but...I may need to move on and up.
I have done everything the Drupal forums suggest, but to no avail.
I will keep digging, and post my findings as I get some here.
Thank you!

What you pay for
I think the thing to remember with low end web hosting... you get what you pay for. It's not supposed to be high quality. It's just supposed to be low cost. When it comes to web hosting cheap and high quality are mutually exclusive.
That being said, drupal should be working with clean urls.
if sub.example.com is going to sub.example.com/sub in the web browser that would cause a problem with clean urls. How they are accessed matters to apache. Those two paths are different. So, you either need /sub to go away or the .htaccess file needs to reflect the /sub. In the .htaccess file change:
# RewriteBase /drupal
to
RewriteBase /sub
Without this change clean urls won't work. Also, there are ways to remove the /sub on subdomains. But, how you do that is different for each host. I'm not sure of the proper way to do that with GoDaddy. Worst case scenario is you do that with a .htaccess file.

Okay...it's me again. I think I'm just too much of a novice at all of this, but I can't seem to get my trasfered site from MAMP to subdomain site to work. I have taken my drupal database and uploaded it. However, I had issues with the watchdog database being full. I cleared it (not dropped just emptied) and now...I go to the subdomain site, and everything looks like a new installation. I go directly to the subdirectory that hosts the subdomain and all looks good, but of course clean URLs being gone means non-working site. I don't have any clue what i'm doing wrong here. I have the settings.php updated with mySQL information correctly, but no site. PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
