I'm not sure what to say with this one. I've never seen this one before.

Have you used HostGator chat yet? I usually get them to fix all my problems while talking to them. Try here (https://secure.hostgator.com/support.shtml) and click live chat in the bottom right corner

You may have manually set a MySQL host in config.php. That is not needed if the MySQL host is on the same server, just use "localhost".
