SMF Version: SMF 1.1 RC2
Everybody on my board has been getting this error for about 3 days now. It's getting really bad today. How can I fix it?
Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.
Here is my board.
http://ndmparenting.iceagehosting.com/ndmcommunity/index.php
log into your forum through ftp
rename Settings.php to Settings_old.php
then rename Settings_bak.php to Settings.php
Thanks. :D
I'm still getting the connection error. Expect today its worse. That's all anybody is getting.
Getting this one with it.

This isn't solved =/
I did this....
log into your forum through ftp
rename Settings.php to Settings_old.php
then rename Settings_bak.php to Settings.php
and now, all it has is that connection error. I even tried to replace the Settings.php, and the Settings_bak.php with the original's in the SMF download. And that didn't work either.
And, also... the file IS there.
Have you double checked all the MySQL settings?
Sorry, I am a tad new to the whole php, mySQL stuff. Please explain further...
im confused is this one person with 2 names or 2 people same problem......eh
What i mean is check to make sure your database/mysql server are intact, functiong properly, etc
Pat and myself are admin of the same board. 2 different people. Same board LOL, sorry. Yes, everything is working properly. Everything screwed up when I changed
rename Settings.php to Settings_old.php
then rename Settings_bak.php to Settings.php
Everything is working just fine, except the forums. And we get that Connection error.
im really not sure.....have you tried running repair_settings.php? Theres a link to download it in the server move sticky.
Where is it?
We got this problem fixed
rename Settings.php to Settings_old.php
then rename Settings_bak.php to Settings.php
That is what screwed everything up. I had a good webmaster fix everything for me. I think I shoulda went to him to begin with.
