I installed Vesta - everything broke. Help with last step

So here is a tale of my own stupidity.

I heard of Vesta and it looked WONDERFUL. So I went to my server which had a popular blog and a bunch of business sites and installed it.

It broke everything.

After a while I figured out that Vesta uses a different folder structure: instead of /var/www it uses /home/admin/etc...

I moved my business sites to the correct folders and now they work. So that's awesome!

The issue is my blog.

It is wordpress.

So I moved everything from my original root directory (the wordpress files) and moved them to the correct /home/admin folder.

This includes the .sql files I was using.

when I try to load the page it gives a 404.

But when I try to load an html page it loads fine. eg. readme.html loads fine but /wp-admin for example does not.

So I THINK maybe its a database issue.

I go into Vesta and go to the database section. Now any changes I try to make there give me an error:

"Error: Connection to localhost failed"

What do I need to fix? This is kind of urgent.

Thank you SO much.
