Connection Problems Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database

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

I am so sorry to say this but I am very sad and devastated with free host.

Linux and lotus.

Check your database user permissions. Go to cPanel. Take the user off the database and add it back giving it all permissions.

Sometimes permissions get dropped. Just re-add the user/permissions.

Make sure the host is set to localhost in SMF's config file.

Just to add to Techairlines very good suggestions, Lotus has been experiencing difficulties for several hours.
