I have SMF installed fine with no problems and I recently switched webshosters. I moved the database over but the login name and password changed and SMF can't connect to the database. Where do I go to update SMF to the new database settings?

I'f you have moved host then I'd suggest using the repair settings tool - downloadable from here :

Also, make sure your database name in your hosts control panel is the same, as is the username/password to connect to the DB (or at least you change it in the correct places).
