wordpress website will not access mysql files properly

I'm new at this, please help!

A bit of background...I purchased the website, japanesebottleopener.com and am in the process of moving it to
my godaddy account. I still have the nameservers pointed to the previous owner's nameservers in order to keep
the website up and running until I have it set up properly in my own account at godaddy.

The problem is that I have followed all the recipe steps (including establishing a mySQL database, populating
it, and uploading all the wordpress files to my hosting account) I uploaded the wordpress files into a subdomain
of my other website (sentol.com) in order to preview the website. These files are currently in my folder 'phpuploads'
and are located at sentol.com/phpuploads.

Now when I try to preview the site only the basic template of the home page comes up at sentol.com/uploads but not
the body. I have compared the source code for both japanesebottle.com and sentol.com/uploads and noted a couple
differences in the <body> section.

About 1/4 down, the source code page of japanesebottleopener.com has this line:
<li class="page_item current_page_item"> whereas sentol.com/uploads has this:
<li class="page_item">....(it left out 'current_page_item')

Also, about 1/3 down the source page, japanesebottleopener.com has these lines:
<div class="post" id="post-3">
<h2 class="posttitle">Home</h2>
whereas sentol.com/uploads has these two lines:
<div class="post"> ...(it left out 'id='post-3')
<h2>Error 404 - Not found</h2>

So sentol.com/uploads is not accessing the body section and I have no idea why.

Please give me any insight how I could fix this problem. I'd really appreciate it!
