You need to see the 'real' error.

Does the ACP work ? , if so go to Stats/Logs > SQL Error Logs > , the latest will be here.

If not or not sure: Connect via FTP / File Manager. Look in the /cache directory. The latest log will be called sql_error_latest.cgi , ignore the other ones for now with dates in the titles, the 'latest' one is just that.
