Hi , Please make sure to change the DB host .
This problem may be caused because you've moved the database .
I think you may need to reinstall SMF by connecting it with your old DB .
@AlaaJ, Thanks so much. How to reinstall SMF without affecting the existing plugins and stuff.
Well , Just upload the install.php file and then run the installation normally .
Note : Upload the install.php file only . and connect it with your old DB
Thanks a bunch. if you say i reinstall the install.php and connect it with your old DB means the new DB where i moved the files to? or the old DB where i moved from?
1. Bumping a topic within 24 hours is frowned up. (You bumped in less than 1 hour!)
2. Using a descriptive topic title will get you more help.
3. Search is your friend.
Have you read this:
How do I move my SMF forum to a different host? (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/How_do_I_move_my_SMF_board_to_a_different_host)
to be clear... you do NOT "reinstall"
DO NOT run install.php
follow the wiki instructions that Drunken Clam linked you to.
Also, make sure you've put yourself as a user of the database, in CPanel...
