MyBB Community Forums

I got banned from 000webhost.com for some reason, so i got another hosting service (i had my info backed up). Now when i put it on the new hosting it it gives me some MySQL error. I transfered the nameservers to my domain, and made a new MySQL Database but i still get the error.

this is the error i get when i make a SQL database with a user:

MyBB SQL Error
MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
0 -
Query:
[READ] Unable to select database
Please contact the MyBB Group for support.

And this the error i get when there is no SQL database and user:

MyBB SQL Error
MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
1045 - Access denied for user 'etechfor_fjammz'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Query:
[READ] Unable to connect to MySQL server

This means the database details you provided are wrong and therefore MyBB can't connect. Check the ./inc/config.php file.

You need to make a new mysql user and replace the old user details with the new one in .inc/config.php

i changed the details, but it still giving me the same error.

No, the database details are still wrong. Double check them. There is no other reason this would happen.

i now get this error, sorry for the link:

this is what is in the confing file:

<snip>

That's the same error. The fix is also the same.

I had to snip your config file considering how dangerous it is to share it here, but are you sure your username is the same as your database name or vice-versa? If you still can't figure it out, contact your web host for help on which details you should enter.

if all else fails, can i just make a new MyBB forum with my webhost (and make a new sql database) and then transfer all the files(except the config file) from here to there? it that possibe?

Is the server name localhost for SQL - That could be the problem, or the port, Or anything really

the site works when i put websitename.com/install , but that will reinstall the forum and the previous data will be deleted...
