Oh don't know how to explain this mess.
My host said they need to move my VPS accout to a new server.
I had in mind to close our forum prior to the move. However I received an email
saying

Hello Morgan Johansson,
Your new VPS has been successfully setup!
+---------------------------------------------------+

| new.britbike.com |

+---------------------------------------------------+
Package: OpenVZ VPS Slice (CentOS 3 Slices)
IP Address: xxx.231.189.4

The new IP is xxx.231.189.4 so I was worried that messages was still posted to the old mysql on xxx.231.189.8 so I changed the 8 to a 4 in the >>>> » Control Panel » Primary settings.
and hit open the forum but nothing happened it got a white screen when trying to open the forum.
So I did following in Admin panel change back the digit 4 to 8 and submitted, then nothing happened a white screen.

so I went back to the forum window and hit reopen the page and got an error saying there is a problem finding mysql xxx.231.189.4 and then I open
the old root ftp account and manually changed the config.inc.php and set back to xxx.231.189.8

then tested and I get
Quote
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'DATABASE_USER' (T_STRING), expecting ')' in /XXXXXX/XXXXX/XXXXX/includes/config.inc.php on line 4
when trying again.

So now I'm totally lost,
my host says now

Currently a new server is prepped with cpanel installing. The change over has not occurred. The new vps is only to copy the data to, then the ips will swap. I will follow up when the copy starts. No changes will be needed on your end.

Is above totally BS to you or do you have any ideas???
PLEASE ADVICE
