Strange Database Error mails

[pewa]

Hello,

I moved my forum to a new host today, using the guide from the online manual, and everything went fine. I changed the path's to avatars etc. and also made changes to config.php to suit my new server. The forum is runnig and everything seems to work, and here's where the strange begins...

Since I moved I keep getting LOTS of "vBulletin Database Error" mails, all saying the same thing:

mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysql118.domain.com' (4) /www/webvol1/59/kwzh2yeyq3ihqdu/domain.com/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 311

MySQL Error :
Error Number :
Request Date : Thursday, April 23rd 2009 @ 10:46:07 PM
Error Date : Thursday, April 23rd 2009 @ 10:47:07 PM
Script : http://www.domain.com/forum/register.php (http://www.hojen.nu/forum/register.php)?
Referrer :
IP Address : XX.XX.XX.XX
Username :
Classname : vB_Database
MySQL Version :

The mail referrs to my old settings.
I have changed 'mysql118.domain.com' to 'localhost'
and '/www/webvol1/59/kwzh2yeyq3ihqdu/domain.com/public_html/forum/includes/...' to '/home/domain/public_html//forum/includes/...' in config.php

Why is my forum running but vBulletin keeps sending me mails that are saying it can't connect to the database?
Why is the mail referring to my old setting when I have changed them, where does it get the info from?

I guess there i a possibility this has something to do with changed DNS name servers and that it takes a while for the site to "land", but I'm getting kind of nervous :)

Probably cached emails that you haven't received yet.

How long could that go on?

Just checked my mail after the night, over 100 new "vBulletin Database Error"-mails. Checked my forum aswell, everything works fine and no user complaints :confused:

Depends on how many are queued on your email server and how fast it sends out queued mail. No real answer that we can give you.

I'm still getting these mail all the time. 24 hours since my host changed the name servers.

Only today I have gotten over 100 database error mails.

Would reinstalling the software on my new server help? Could this be a database problem?

Thanks

Update:
Over 24h after my host changed the name servers the error mails seem to have stopped. Just waint and see if it stays that way :)

Thanks anyway!

If your forums are up and running when you check and are still receiving the exact same emails, then you have some sort of intermittent error. You need to contact your hosting provider. Reinstalling the software will not resolve connection errors like this.
