why am I gettin the bonk screen after moving to a new server?
ghost_reload
New
I just moved from a shared server to a managed server but my domain name stayed the same. The only change was the server name, user name, and DB name. I edited the config file to point to the new server and I get the bonk screen, but if I point back at the old server it works again 
. I tried turning on error reporting but still only get user friendly error message, please help!

I have never used vanilla before however I am trying to pick up where the original developer left off. please bare with me.... I do not know how to find the version of vanilla and as i said before I cannot get it to display an actual error even after adding $Configuration['Garden']['Errors']['MasterView'] = 'deverror.master.php';
I am happy to help. If you read the link I gave you, it doesn't mention that config item at all.
Please read both of the links and answer the questions so we can help.

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user
trigger_error(ErrorMessage('An error occurred while attempting to connect to the database', $this->ClassName, 'Connection', $ex->getMessage()), E_USER_ERROR);
61: }
seems to be an error connecting to the new database but I have checked and rechecked all the con/config settings and they all match up with the new server
The configurations you are using for your new database connection are most likely wrong.
Please double check the username and password, as well as the host config items and try again.

Everything is correct username, server name, host, and password
is the database correct?
grep is your friend.
You will need to provide more details.
Provide the credential minus the password. Or if you can't do that preserve the jist of the credentials.
grep is your friend.
// Database
$Configuration['Database']['Name'] = 'db516515546';
$Configuration['Database']['Host'] = 'localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock';
$Configuration['Database']['User'] = 'dbo516515546';
$Configuration['Database']['Password'] = '';
host is looking into the issue now
try
localhost;unix_socket=/tmp/mysql5.sockas the hostgrep is your friend.
from the docs
grep is your friend.
when I use that syntax it says that vanilla has already been installed
navigate elsewhere.
grep is your friend.
make sure conf/config is writable by the process user, delete *.ini files in cache
grep is your friend.
deleted .ini files from cache and also checked permission they are set to 644 also tried with them set at 777
you shouldn't need to set anything to chmod 0777, don't start me off on a rant.
grep is your friend.
so what you are saying it is keeps going back to dashboard/setup? no mater if you navigate away from this?
What is the value of Garden.Installed in config?
grep is your friend.
