Download the file in the link K@t provided. Upload it to the root of your forums and access it by url.

You can change the database info there. As well, click on all of the recommended links to change the paths to the new server. Once all of that is done, go into the theme settings in the Admin CP and correct the paths to the themes.

i saved that file still facing that error

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

Since you changed servers the database info has probably changed also. Especially the database name and user. Go into the control panel for your site. Check the information there and make sure that you have input the new info for the database.

Check the password and other credentials. One of them is wrong.

If you are doing a copy and paste. Make sure there's no spaces at the beginning and end.

[Kays]

If it was ok then you shouldn't be getting that error.

Where are you looking? in Settings.php or by using repair_settings.php

[abidejaz4u]

i manually change the sql name and pasword in setting.php ...and i tried also repair_settings.php file ...but still facing problem

[Kays]

Try setting up another user for that database.
