Now that I've converted my PHPBB2, I get this error...

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

M_AAT

ok...so I changed the password for the database and that worked. Now i'm getting my old board back and the SMF is just coming up  "index" on the page????

Try re-uploading index.php

Now, this is what I get:

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

Did you change the password for the SMF database as well? You can fix that with repair_settings.php.

What is repair_settings.php?
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Now I get this:
Some settings are not being shown because the MySQL connection information is incorrect.

xenovanis

That means SMF can't connect to the database, because either

- your username is wrong
- your password is wrong
- your databasename is wrong
- your database server is wrong
- your prefix is wrong

In other words: check your database details again.

Is there any other reason other than those? I have tried every option and contacted the server people that just told me the same info I was already typing in

xenovanis

Well, MySQL could be down  :-\ Maybe you made a typo?
