I'm moving my SMF to a new server that has more active database connections.
I exported my database and saved all files.
Went to new server, uploaded all files, created a new database and imported my saved database. I then updated the settings.php file for the new database name, server address, and hosting root folder path. But it still says it cannot connect to database when I try loading my site.
Is there something else I should be updating that I'm missing or is settings.php (and the other two settings files) the only place you need to update.
take a look at What is repair_settings.php? (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Repair_settings.php)
