Connection Problems

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

It's very probably errors on the server side. Don't touch anything, start by contacting the host.
If it happens often, find a better (more stable) place to host your forum.

do you have ftp access to your hosting? if so upload the file to the same folder that has the rest of your files in. if you are using smfnew, you will get no support here for such an install as smf and simple machines is not affiliated with that service.
