error data base

[matikun]

<i>Hello
I moved my forum from hostgator USA to hostgator from brazil since its costs are lower and it is practically the same.
i request a migration and they did it.

the question is that my forum does not work and I do not know why, I do not know much, I'm just learning a few months ago to add things and edit, could someone tell me how to know what the problem is? the only thing my forum says is:</i>

The database has encountered a problem.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

I would start by verifying the master server has the correct info for the mysql server in your config.php

They may have changed going to the new system.

It could also be a username & password didnt transfer over properly.

Also make sure that your nameservers are pointing to the new host

Hello again

The charsets didnt match on import.

[matikun]

what should I do?
Is there something I can show you so that you can help me solve this problem?

[snakes1100]

Mysql charset settings would need to match on the old & new server.

character_set_client latin1
character_set_connection latin1
character_set_database latin1
character_set_filesystem binary
character_set_results latin1
character_set_server latin1
character_set_system utf8

You can pull those mysql variables from both servers & post them.
