Test out your MySQL installation closely outside of Drupal.  A couple weeks a go I fought with a site offline issue that turned out in the end to be a problem with the vm host that MySQL was running on.   <div><br clear="all">

I have copied the mysql database to a new drupal installation<br>
also the /default files, image files, /modules, etc<br>
<br>
I have altered settings.php to show the login<br>
<br>
Now I get &#39;Site off line&#39; due to technical problems<br>
<br>
I&#39;m stuck, what have I missed, what do I need to get the new<br>
installation to read the copied server files and database which is the<br>
same name.<br>
thanks<br>
Roger<br>
