And when I navigate to /admin.php, I get this:
Unable to select the specified database:
Filename: core/EE_Config.php
Line Number: 172
Is is possible that because I have just transferred this site to a new domain, that EE thinks I am trying to run duplicate licenses? Help! Night before Thanksgiving and my client is freaking out…
Also, I tested with dbtest.php and I get this:
A connection was established to your database server
Unable to select your database

Argh - not an EE issue. Seems that there was a Cpanel issue. We overwrote the database with a backup copy and reassociated the user with the database. In case anyone else has this same issue in the future!

To confirm. Everything is ok again for you?

Yes - aside from the heart attack I about had Wednesday night. Reassociating the database user with the database in Cpanel is an absolute must, apparently, when doing a site transfer to a new domain using Cpanel (something Cpanel’s forums really should tell you). Just a tip to anyone else using Cpanel!
