 * I moved my site to a dedicated server, and now its telling me Database Error:
   Error establishing a database connection. Can I get a more detailed error somewhere?
 * I know its not the settings in wp-config.php because I can connect to the database
   using those settings.
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * Still, there is no harm in checking if you have filled DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD
   and DB_HOST correctly in your wp-config.php file.

 * Not sure how, but it seems my export had been incomplete. Would be nice if WordPress
   gave more detailed errors.
