Appears MySQL isn't running. Contact your host and if this is a dedicated server please make sure MySQL is started.
Also make sure the host is correctly listed in the inc/config.php file. It's probably "localhost" but if you're on a shared host they sometimes will specify a separate mysql server location which might be an IP or a hostname like mysql.domain.com.
I am here to rescue you.

Since you've switched hosts i'd say there's a problem with your config.php file. Can you post it?

Make sure SQL is connected and configured to your host correctly.

We can't tell if you did anything because it's dependent on your host's configuration. Config.php wouldn't have to be edited ever if all hosts were the same. So, contact your host definitely and ask them specifically if mySQL is installed and where it's located at. Ask if it's on localhost.
