I am beyond frustrated at this point as I have done this a number of times before and this time it is just not working for me so I want to make sure this all sounds like I am doing it correctly. I am changing the domain and moving the forum to another server.
I copied and downloaded the database from phpmyadmin and uploaded it on the new site. I zipped down all the files and uploaded them to the new server. I went into the config file and changed the database name, user, and user password to the new one. Put the site link in and I get a Database error.
http://jediphilosophy.net/image.php?type=dberror Database error The database has encountered a problem. Please try the following:
Load the page again by clicking the Refresh (http://jediphilosophy.net/install/tools.php#) button in your web browser.
Open the jediphilosophy.net (http://jediphilosophy.net/) home page, then try to open another page.
Click the Back (http://javascript%3Cb%3E%3C/b%3E:history.back%281%29) button to try another link. The jediphilosophy.net forum technical staff have been notified of the error, though you may contact them (dbmaster@example.com) if the problem persists.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
I know for 100% certainty that my database information and user information is correct in the config file. I've done this before with no issues and all of a sudden this time I am getting this issue. Any thoughts on what I can try or do differently would be much appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out at this point..lol.
