Unable to Connect to Database

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I just transfered my site to a remote server, following this:http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/installation/moving_a_site/...

Unfortunately, when I go to my site, I get an error. I attached a screen shot of it.

Does your config/site.php reflect the new database details?

What is this:

define('PASSWORD_SALT', 'tziTcDsjXRD73yhu92SAt5ryEIyBhkx844YO4syGUAvJZ68hbVj11piwZ0IVASr0');

Now I get this. See attached.

It seems like C5 would have a option to save the site, and then one could upload it to a server and it would re-construct what ever it needs on the MySQL server.

again... does your site.php file have the correct/current db server ip address, db user name and password and name to reflect your new server location?

I double checked and even set everything up again, it still gives me the same error I mentioned last time.

It would be a HUGE pain to recreate the site. Anyone have any ideas?
