Thank you for your prompt attention and help. it is greatly appreciated.
The host is telling me that issue form the error message is:
Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Access denied for user 'phgdevadmin'@'jerusalem.dreamhost.com' (using password: YES) in /home/phg_devadmin/phg.net/Connections/PowerCMSConnection.php on line 9
Fatal error: Access denied for user 'phgdevadmin'@'jerusalem.dreamhost.com' (using password: YES) in /home/phg_devadmin/phg.net/Connections/PowerCMSConnection.php on line 9
......the part about @'jerusalem.dreamhost.com shoudl be switched to @'fistfight.dreamhost.com
Considering that @'jerusalem.dreamhost.com doesn't show up anywhere on the PowerCMSConnection.php page I'm not sure how to correct that.
