Hello everyone!

Yesterday I added a second forum on my server. Put it in a separate folder, etc. It works beautifully.

But, now my other forum doesn't work. I get this error:

Connection Problems

Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.


While installing the new server, when I created the new database I forgot the old password for the database username, so I created a new one through cPanel. I'm guessing that SMF stores the database username and password somewhere and then tries to access the database with that information. If that's correct, can you tell me where that is stored so I can manually edit it and update it to the current password?

Thanks!
