I am moving a site from a shared server environment to a vps and after FTPing the files I am getting an error that really has me stumped. Keyword not supported: '(mydatabasename);database'. I thought this to be a permissions problem, and it may still be, but using ssms I can login to the database using the credentials in the connection string. Nothing is misspelled there. I apologize for the long stack trace that follows, but maybe someone can get better insight from it than I did.

 Stack Trace:
