Hi. I just copy all files to new host, upload db in phpmyAdmin and update values in repair_settings.php. So Smf is not working. What I should to do?

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

Are you sure the server settings were entered correctly into Settings.php ?

MESWEB

Yes. I click suggestion links below post form in repair_settings.php.
Maybe DNS are still working because I'm change DNS today. This is possible?

DNS can take up to 48 hours to trickle down...

And, don't always depend on the suggested settings, especially for the database stuff...   Check with your host regarding specific database values to use for configuration

Indeed. Some hosts do localhost yet many do not.
Then you need to be sure you entered the username, database name, and password correctly.

I fix it. The problem was Server with default value localhost. I change this value to my provider http://myhost.com
