Getting odd SQL error trying to load my forum...

This one has me stumped. Looks like a redirect, but my hosts file is empty.

Well your mysql user is wrong. So there's that.

You have to use a mysql user that's been added to the database in cpanel.

This happened once before out of the blue. I went to the myBB forums and found a solution but it isn't the PW this time. Have added the username 'admin' using the link provided, and the error keeps occurring.

This is the second time it's happened when the host goes down. Another x10 site I'm affiliated with went down as well, but the 1045 didn't start there.

Thanks guys. I got it.

"localhost' was capitalized for whatever effed up reason after the downtime under /inc/config.php like so:

$config['database']['hostname'] = 'Localhost';

In case anyone else runs into this problem.

I've used altartbu with no problems until now. The user name wasn't the issue. But thanks.
