Hello,

When you changed the domain, you also needed to update the wp-config file to reflect this change, it was simply trying to redirect you to the old address that no longer does exist, which is why you were sent to our "catch all" web address instead of your site.

Looking into why your db fails, I assume that did work prior to the domain change?

Yea... It says that it is having problems connecting to the database... and yes it did work prior to the change.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks,

Would it fix the problem if I just delete everything and start fresh with a new SQL?

depends on why it fails, but it may sort the problem...

db looks like it is there, I tried recreating the db user (often sorts the issue), I tripple checked the backend, and that seem fine (and since we dont have a ton threads complaining about mysql that is reasonable).

However, I do have one concern. Do you plan on giving blog hosting away on your site (domain and MU wordpress seem to suggest that)? If so that would be a suspendable violation of TOS. Specifically this part:

Personal accounts are to be used by the primary owner only. Personal account holders are not permitted to resell, store or give away web-hosting services of their website to other parties. Web hosting services are defined as allowing a separate, third party to host content on the owner's web site.
