Hello,
Over the holiday weekend we had a cpu fan to fail on our server. When we brought the service back up there were a few issues with php. So I ended up removing php and reinstalling it. At first I had loaded PHP 5.3.13. But then found out that our older version of vB 3.7.3 doesn't like anything above 5.2.6. So I removed it again and installed 5.2.17. Previously with the 5.3.13 vers. of php I simply was getting white pages on every page of the forum. (Normal forum pages, admincp, modcp, exc.) Now with 5.2.17 I'm getting database error messages on every page. I've checked the config.php page and the username is correct as well as the password. (I can log into mysql on the server from this account) I've also disabled hooks to see if that somehow was causing trouble, but it hasn't changed anything.
Here's the source of an error page.
PHP Code:

// This is the type of the database server on which your vBulletin database will be located.

// for slave options just append _slave to your preferred database type.

// If you need to set the default connection charset because your database
// is using a charset other than latin1, you can set the charset here.
// If you don't set the charset to be the same as your database, you
// may receive collation errors. Ignore this setting unless you

// file named in 'ini_file'. Please use a full path to the file.

// Images that exceed either dimension below will not be resized by vBulletin. If you need to resize larger images, alter these settings.
