Trouble with forums

[rustler]

Hi, I'm on the lotus server. I have 3 phpbb forums, two of which have quit responding. No error pages, just "internet explorer can't open". ONE of the forums does work, as does cpanel, and I can connect via ftp. I've made no changes to these two boards, they just quit working. Thanks for your help.

Corey's post on Lotus, et al

Seems Lotus will be acting up as they make the changes. Best thing to do is probably wait it out.

Sorry I can't be of more help. Realize that everybody on the affected servers are in the same boat.

I just browsed to your first forum and received an error message. Find the config file and change mysql-lotus.x10hosting.com to localhost : http://forums.x10hosting.com/free-hosting/110251-database-error.html

Thanks for the replies. My config.php file looks like this:

<?php
// phpBB 3.0.x auto-generated configuration file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = 'mysql';
$dbhost = 'mysql-lotus.x10hosting.com';
$dbport = '';
$dbname = 'nettnut_phpbb';
$dbuser = 'nettnut_phpbb';
$dbpasswd = 'xxxxxxx';
$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';
$acm_type = 'file';
$load_extensions = '';
@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
// @define('DEBUG', true);
// @define('DEBUG_EXTRA', true);
?>

If I change this line:

$dbhost = 'mysql-lotus.x10hosting.com';

to

$dbhost = 'localhost';

it doesn't make it any better. Is this correct?

you should put localhost. This is the mysql server address. It might not work immediately, but it's the new setting ( as Corey instructed: http://forums.x10hosting.com/free-hosting/110251-database-error.html )

Well, it has been changed to localhost, and it is not working. Also, I can no longer access my files through IE, it says the files are either missing or have been moved.. They are still there, I can access them through cpanel.
Edit:
Database is directed to localhost, and still getting this message:

SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysql-lotus.x10hosting.com' (4) [2003]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

If I've changed it to "localhost", why is it still looking to "mysql-lotus.x10hosting.com" ? Is there some place else other than the config.php file that I need to change?

This issue is related to server migration.

Currently staff is working to upgrade the system and account panel.

Everything will work after the upgrade
