title: Joomla: Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error: Could not connect to MySQL
body: <p>I am haveing a HUGE issue this morning. We upgraded our server this morning from a VPS to a Dedicated server. All of my sites on the new server worked fine when loading them directly. Example:</p>
  
  <p>on the VPS: https:///~tendesig/zinkcalls.com/
  on the Dedicated: https:///~tendesig/zinkcalls.com/</p>
  
  <p>Given that everything appeared to be in order, I went ahead and flipped the switch and repointed my nameservers and host name to the IP of the new box.</p>
  
  <p>Now everything seems to be working for all my sites except for one...</p>
  
  <p>the above links would normally be for <a href="https://zinkcalls.com" rel="nofollow">https://zinkcalls.com</a> and while the load fine when loading it directly through IP, when loading it by the domain I am getting:</p>
