suddenly, get this error at: http://www.svbt.org/members/forum/

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

SQL Error:
2013 - Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 110
Query:
[READ] Unable to connect to MySQL server
######

Godaddy says I should check for these settings:

$hostname = "svbt_tech_db.db.7003259.hostedresource.com";
$username = "svbt_tech_db";
$dbname = "svbt_tech_db";


... but I don't know where to find the above settings for mybb? Never used mybb before, and I've been called in to help fix this issue. Any ideas? Thanks,

Your database settings are in ./inc/settings.php

$config['database']['type'] = 'mysqli';
$config['database']['database'] = '';
$config['database']['table_prefix'] = 'mybb_';

$config['database']['hostname'] = '';
$config['database']['username'] = '';
$config['database']['password'] = '';
