Answer 1

Your database_user and database_password values need to be set in the parameters.yml file. You can get those settings in the GoDaddy new account setup email that gets provided to you.

Answer 2

The error message you got is clear enough,

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'127.0.0.1' (using password: NO)

You need to set the right database_user & database_password in the parameters.yml used in your host. Check your accont configuration to get the right access parameters.
