Moved to new server and getting error

    Hi,

    Ive been using Godaddy shared hosting and recently moved to the Virtual Dedicated Server. Ive done everything that was instructed:

    1. downloaded files and uploaded them to my new server
    2. restored mysql database
    3. Changed connection strings in wp-config.php file

    But I am getting the error Error establishing a database connection when i go to my domain (www.pokermedley.com)

    I have tried so many things and my site has been offline for many days now.

    I am using Plesk control panel

    Possibilities:
    1. Currently my Database hostname is “localhost”, godaddy support confirms this is correct, but maybe its wrong?
    2. in the phpmyadmin there is a message at the bottom: Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.90 differs from your MySQL server version 5.5.20. This may cause unpredictable behavior.
    3. I uploaded too many files? in the godaddy instructions they say only to upload wp-content folder but I uploaded everything…
    4. Shall I delete all the other files that are in the File Manager (the ones that I did not upload)?

    Please help, any suggestions are welcomed.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    I have just found that in the phpmyadmin page, when I go to ‘Privileges’, I find that there are 9 databases there, including my own database that i created.

    Now under the column ‘Host’, all of the databases have “localhost”. But for database “Any” and my newly created database, the name is “%”

    Anyone know if this is a problem? If so how can I change it? Thanks!
