[thekill11]

after cossack was rebooted yestoday my site was able to be reach but it would allow me to access it i get
an error page when i tried to go there.

my sever is cossack
im running SMF Forum and i looked through there site and they said it happened when there is
something wrong with MYSQL. i tried changing the database under mysql and then adding the info under
my setting.in on my smf files but my site is still not available.

Edit in the details as they are in your SMF config file and try this script.

<?php

DEFINE ('DB_HOST', 'localhost' );
DEFINE ('DB_USER', 'cpanelusername_dbuser');
DEFINE ('DB_PASSWORD' , "secretWordHere" );
DEFINE ('DB_NAME', "cpanelusername_dbname" );

$link = @mysqli_connect(  DB_HOST , DB_USER , DB_PASSWORD , DB_NAME  );

if (!$link)
  { 
   // allow script using this to decide what to do
   $failure = true ;
   $failure_reason =  mysqli_connect_error();
   $failure_no = mysqli_connect_errno() ;

   echo "Connection failed: $failure_reason  Error Number: $failure_no";

  } else {

   echo "Success!" ;
   mysqli_close( $link ) ;
  }

?>

Alternatively, use phpMyAdmin to drop and delete the db_user and then recreate him and add him back again to the SMF db. If you change the password, remember to change it in the SMF config file too.
