Have you checked whether both your database and it's user account/password still exists, and that they have not become corrupted from the recent server changes?

 

[DaveDaDon]

The URL you have given doesn't give the technical reason / statement regarding the problem connecting to server. Can you test it with a small code snippet for mysql connectivity and post the error message generated (if any) ?

Error message;

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

I think kajasweb wants a more technical/detailed error message. The one you posted tells us that something doesn't work, but it doesn't tell us exactly what isn't working.

You need to run a small test script or something that will tell you the exact error. (I'm no PHP coder so I can't write one for you.)

 

[DaveDaDon]

oh...

well im no php coder either, but thats the only error message im getting
and usually that only happened when x10hosting shut down mysql or php
or they switched the mysql name

Have you checked whether your MySQL User has necessary permission on your Database ?

 

[DaveDaDon]

yeah all priviledges is checked and i just rechecked it again and saved

still no connection

Try to backup the db and then delete it and then re upload it.

 

[DaveDaDon]

think i see the problem

all the tables in my mysql database were deleted :S

Lol. Then thread closed. If this is still an issue open this thread again.
