Forum errors

[Stryker]

Fairly simply, before the recent move and changes, all of my forums worked. Since, however, they have not.

I have an Invision board, along with a phpbb 2 board, and for a while had a OVBB board (which actually kept working for a time). I'm set at the intermediate php level, as I was previously.

The Invision board returns the fairly generic;

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

and the phpbb board gives something equally unhelpful;

IPS Driver Error

There appears to be an error with the database.
You can try to refresh the page by clicking here​

The best I can figure, I missed something in an announcement about changing where something's pointing or somesuch, but after quite a bit of forum trawling and searching, I'm starting to think that is not the case.

Ideas? Please and thanks.

Check your (board) config files?..

MySQL Information

To use MySQL in your website you will first need to create a MySQL database and a MySQL User. You can do this from cPanel. (Don't forget to link the User to your Database).
Then you need to configure your script to connect to MySQL, the following settings should be used:

• Host = 'localhost'
• Port = '3306'
• User = [Your cPanel username followed by an underscore and the MySQL username you configured in cPanel]
• Pass = [The password that you used when creating the MySQL user]
• Database = [ Your cPanel username followed by an underscore and the name of the database that you created in cPanel]

For the invision board;

<?php
$INFO['sql_driver']            =    'mysql';
$INFO['sql_host']            =    'localhost';
$INFO['sql_database']            =    'stryker_forum';
$INFO['sql_user']            =    '[My user]';
$INFO['sql_pass']            =    '[the pass]';
$INFO['sql_tbl_prefix']            =    'ibf_';
$INFO['sql_debug']            =    '1';
$INFO['board_start']            =    '1189992708';
$INFO['installed']            =    '1';
$INFO['php_ext']            =    'php';
$INFO['safe_mode']            =    '0';
$INFO['board_url']            =    'http://bdsyndicate.pcriot.com/forum';
$INFO['banned_group']            =    '5';
$INFO['admin_group']            =    '4';
$INFO['guest_group']            =    '2';
$INFO['member_group']            =    '3';
$INFO['auth_group']            =    '1';
$INFO['mysql_tbl_type']            =    'MyISAM';

?>

And phpbb

<?php


// phpBB 2.x auto-generated config file
// Do not change anything in this file!

$dbms = 'mysql';

$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbname = 'stryker_phpbb';
$dbuser = '[User]';
$dbpasswd = '[pass]';

$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';

define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);

?>

I clearly removed the user and pass, but they are correct.

Should I maybe tag in something for the port?

Got no installation to test, so someone else must help?!

 

[Stryker]

*sigh* Well, thanks for trying at least.

perhaps since the servers are still moving your database has yet to be fully transfered.

I suppose that's a possibility, but based on the time its been down, I would think it would have been restored by now. My site was down for a time a few days ago, but it has since gotten back to full capacity, aside from everything php-related.
