Critically Important...

Hey Guys and Gals!

I'm helping an internet for get back online after a PHP coding error, I fixed the code, then I got this...

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

So I checked the .config file, and that is fine. So I emailed the hosts and told them to restart the database servers. They have done that.

Yet it still doesn't work:confused:

Any suggestions?...

Anyone got any ideas?

I'm completely lost:eek:

Check that you can connect to the database through some other means (mysql administrator or phpmyadmin) using your username and password. Also, check in your account control panel to make sure the database, username, or password has not gotten deleted or changed.

A lot of the security problems with older versions of programs like phpBB is that they allowed sql injection and it is possible to delete tables, databases, and change passwords.
