If you go to my website forum: http://crisisx.com/forum/index.php it says the following:

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

How do I fix this?

Its possible that you entered some settings incorrectly. Check your database settings in your SMF settings.php file, it can be found in the root directory of your SMF installation.

How do I edit the settings.php?

Are you running 1.1.5 ??? Try downloading repair_settings.php and uploading it to the root of your SMF install.

Change the settings with it and see if it helps. :)
