Is this something I caused or is it on the web host side? The forum was working yesterday.
I'm with ByteHost (I know, please don't lecture me, I'll switch to a paid host once the forum takes off) Anyway, here is the screenshot:

Quote:This occurs when you are using MySQL and the database host name is incorrect in ./inc/config.php. To fix this, open ./inc/config.php and check the entry for $config['database']['hostname']. If you do not know what needs to be here, contact your host provider.

If you're absolutely sure it's correct, then contact your web host. They should know what to do.
1. Open the ./inc/config.php file.
2. Find the value next to $config['database']['hostname'].
3. Contact your web host and ask them what the database host name should be.
4. Replace the entry for $config['database']['hostname'] with the one your host told you.
Sorry faviouz i didn't saw you replyed
Thanks for the reply, well it has to be on the host side since I never messed with my config.php file. I DID work with a plugin yesterday, but it was working after the plugin, so has to be the host i would imagine.
UPDATE: just this minute I checked my site again and now its working, maybe the host was upgrading their files?
Anyway, thanks again folks and thanks everyone at myBB for a great forum script!
