First step - Contact your host.

It MAY be that your Settings/php file has become corrupted, but that's very, very unlikely.

Check with your host, first.

If they can't help, come back, here, and we'll see what we can figure-out, OK?

Ok, thanks for now!

Ok the host is OK, because the portal/page runs only forum doesn't. So what can we do now?

This should check the settings.

Ok I'm now at forum/repair_settings.php

And this is written:

Some settings are not being shown because the MySQL connection information is incorrect.

I have also: Critical Settings ; MySQL Database Info ; Paths & URLs


What must I do now, just click "Save" or?

Make sure that you are using the correct user and password information along with the right host setting, usually its set as "localhost" without the quotes.

All usernames and passwords are OK.

The forum runs now. I think it was problem by local host.


Thanks all, problem solved
