If this needs to be put in another forum, please move.

All sorts of problems that would be corrected by the client changing hosting and upgrading but in the meantime:

Godaddy moved her site to a new server. I do not know if she was on a windows server before but she is now. The site has only one problem - some sort of database error in admin. WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.

I cannot get log files to work and am waiting for control panel access (if she even has it) to see what I can do. I'm definitely a linux person but I have done some of this before on windows.

So is there another easy way to get errors displayed? Would changing the type of error suppression work on windows? First steps?
