[Mediawiki-l] Host switched my FTP servers and now I can't connect to MW db.

[Tim Ware]

Hello,

I'm hosted at Dreamhost (and don't really recommend it....). Sometime  
last night I got an email informing me that they'd switched me from  
one server to another (an emergency) and that everything'd be alright.

Nope. I have about 7 wikis running off this server and now and with  
one of them, I get this error when trying to access via browser:

Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.

Try waiting a few minutes and reloading.

(Can't contact the database server: Access denied for user  
'redbug'@'sawerni.com' (using password: YES) (mysql.pynchonwiki.com))

and the other throws a 500 Internal Server Error.

They told me to change all my paths from:   /home/.laker/username  to / 
home/username wherever anything is configured.

I suspect that somewhere in the MW (v 1.13.x) directory there's a file  
that specifies the old, now-incorrect path, but I can't find it.

Any thoughts? Thanks!
Tim
