"Connection Problems

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

Your server, Boru , is having serious problems with MySQL at the moment. It is not just your site.

The steps are pretty well highlighted in the link that descalzo just gave to you:
Step 1. Log into cPanel as normal.

Step 2. Scroll down to "MySQL Databases" and click on it.

Step 3. Scroll down until you see "Add user to database".

Step 4. Select the correct user and correct database from the drop down boxes.

Step 5. Press "Add". (Note: It may take a little bit of time for this to load sometimes)

Step 6. Select "All privileges"

Step 7. Press "Make changes".

First check Phpmyadmin works or not, then see if you can create databases.This will confirm you have done everything correctly or incorrectly.

If you have installed it using fantastico or softaculous then find db user name and db name by clicking them in cPanel.

If you have installed it manually then find user name inside configuration files (If you don't remember db user name). And if no users exist in cPanel's mysql section then create one and allow it to use the database that your forum uses.This user name and its password should be the same as it was at the time of installation.

Hope this helps :)
