Hi , Please make sure to change the DB host .

AlaaJ

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 .

#socialmedialikers#

@AlaaJ, Thanks so much. How to reinstall SMF without affecting the existing plugins and stuff.

AlaaJ

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

#socialmedialikers#

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?

Kindred

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...
