With new host there are several things to adjust again.
First open settings.php and correct the database name, database username and database password. Its nearly for sure they are different from your previous provider.
After that find "Repair_Settngs" here on the SMF-site, put it in your forum root path and run it. Mostly the biggest are solved then. What is repair_settings (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=395548.msg2743070#msg2743070)
By the way, the link you provided will never work, it is pointing to smf.org.

You where changing provider ?
I have never heard a provider (in your case the old provider) allows a database connection from another (your new provider) server.
