SMF was unable to connect to the database

[lesc]

After upgrading to SMF 1.0.7, I am unable to connect to my website. SMF 1.0.7 is running with MKPortal 1.0. I am able to log into phpMyAdmin through Vdeck. How can I correct the problem? Here is the message that is generated when attempting to access my website:

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

Note: The upgrade was successful.

Verify the MySQL information in Settings.php is correct.

Yes, I double checked and the Settings.php is correct. Any other suggestions. -Les-

This will give you the actual error...

index.php

Find

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Show an error if the connection couldn't be made.
if (!$db_connection || !@mysql_select_db($db_name, $db_connection))
db_fatal_error();

Replace

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

// Show an error if the connection couldn't be made.
if (!$db_connection || !@mysql_select_db($db_name, $db_connection))
die(mysql_error());

Once you have the error message it should be pretty easy to figure out what the problem is.

No need to message further. I attempted another upgrade manually but toasted my db in error. I have some explaining to do but things happen. This is a great excuse to go to Mkportal 1.1RC1 and SMF 1.1. Started the process this afternoon. 

Thanks again for the help. -Les-

I tried that and I still don't get anything, just the regular message:

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