Shoulda used the search feature but anyways.  Make sure you have all the correct database settings and see this thread. http://www.yabb.info/community/index.php?board=131;action=display;threadid=8652

servername and dbname are correct, but you have used wrong username or password, so the db was connect but access denied for you!

you can check your db with my script anywhere posted here!

just found the script!

Code Select Expand

<?php

$DBName = "";
$DBUser = "";
$DBPass = "";
$DBHost = "";
$prefijo = "";

$testconnect = @mysql_connect ( $DBHost, $DBUser, $DBPass )
or die ( "1.<font color=red> Servidor de MySQL no encontrado y/o no conectando</font><br><br>" );
print ( "1.<font color=green> Servidor de MySQL encontrado y conectando!</font><br><br>" );
$testdb = @mysql_select_db ( $DBName )
or die ( "2.<font color=red> Base de Datos <font color=blue>$DBName</font> no encontrado o no se deja conectar!</font><br><br>" );
print ( "2.<font color=green> Base de Datos <font color=blue>$DBName</font> encontrado y conectando!</font><br><br>" );
$testtabl = @mysql_query ("select * from {$prefijo}members")
or die ( "3.<font color=red> Prefijo <font color=blue>$prefijo</font> no es correcto o los tablas de tu foro todavia no existen!</font><br><br>" );
print ( "3.<font color=green> Prefijo <font color=blue>$prefijo</font> de tu foro es correcto y los tablas existen!</font><br>" );
mysql_close ( $testconnect);

?> put the data fpr your db in the script and then upload and run it! the script will say you what data is wrong!
