"Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later."
That's the error I keep getting when I try to access my forum. I've Google'd and searched for a solution, but I've yet to come across a fitting one.
I was trying to figure out how to import my database for my forum onto another website, and I was trying to change the password...
I went to the Server Settings and changed the password, but then I received that error and I can't bring up my forum!
I tried that repair_settings.php thing too, but it won't do anything. I've CHMOD'd and refreshed about a billion times...
Can someone help me? Or direct me to a board that would assist me.
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.
Oh...I just realized that I DID post this in the wrong place. -_- I was just following a link.....
It's not the best place for it, that's true, but that's okay, we can move the topic if you wish. It would be useful if you told your current SMF version. :)
In repair_settings.php, did you enter the actual password of the database? Then save it, and then try to access the forum?
Izirae, please do not double post:
