either you have a problem with your settings.php file (which lists the database connection information) or you have a problem on the server side (with either the database itself or the database user)

first of all... NEVER, NEVER, NEVER post your database connection or other login information on an open forum.

second, it looks Ok, but I don't know if that connection info is correct or not. I suggest you check with your host.

really That is serious,  me too I don't know connection database? I don' t know my hosting. I am afriad. I am bit scared easy. I know I learn training tutorial. I don't know I tried on websites failed. I am not expert. I am learn practice for something fix on hosting, i think so not sure aware how find out happened. Rough that is really not easy. I guess cpanel is very control file manger?

continue to explain understand?

your hosting/server should have some sort of contact form or email. They would be the ones to ask about server and connection information.

would repair_settings.php not be able to help in this case....

i know it checks a few of the conections between SMF and the required files.

the problem is a definate database conection error.. and all boils down to the correct setting in your settings.php

########## Database Info ##########
$db_server = 'XXXX';
$db_name = 'XXXX';    //(3)
$db_user = 'XXXX';     //(1)
$db_passwd = 'XXXX';    //(2)
$db_prefix = 'smf_';       //(4)
$db_persist = 0;
$db_error_send = 1;

in your cpanel, there should be an icon for Database, there you will normaly find the (1)users and (2)passwords, pluss the name of the (3)database of course, if not then there should be a icon for phpmyadmin, there you will find your (3)database and also the (4)prefix

i would very much like to fix your problem for you.... looking at the problem... it would be easy fixed through your cpanel.

but from were i am sitting at the moment i can not access any cpanels, as our firewall blocks that port address.

If your sure your database information in your Settings.php is correct, you are going to need to ask your host if their sql servers are crashing or having any issues.
