Hi,
I moved my forum from http://ramprachirock.com/forum to http://ramkapoorrocks.com/forum

I backed up all the files, database, etc.. and uploaded it to the new forum site. Including the database. I can see all the database in phpMyAdmin section as well but when I go to http://ramkapoorrocks.com/forum it tells me that SMF was unable to connect to the database. I've called Yahoo, my web host and they can't figure out why it's not reading it when all the information is same as the old forum.

Can someone please help me? It's really very urgent.

Did you change all the paths and URL's to reflect your new move? If you can't connect to the database and you are on a different host, you should probably ask your host what settings you need to change for that. Make those changes to the Settings.php file. You'll also need to run this file if you haven't changed your paths to reflect the move.

What is repair_settings.php?
