Then it's not a vB issue.

I removed the public_html and it still doesn't work.

The public_html folder is your webroot folder on the server. You can't remove that without breaking everything. No offense, but are you sure you're comfortable with managing your own server?

Since I moved all files to a new server (downloaded via ftp from old server and uploaded via ftp to new server), what information would need to be changed in what files so things can work properly?

First of all, you need to be able to access your root domain properly. As long as that does not work, trying to fix vB is moot.
