"MyBB has experienced an internal error and cannot continue.

pls what could be the cause


thx

Sounds like you chose the wrong SQL extension when you installed. Open the inc/config.php file in a text editor and change the extension to MySQLi.

i install it via softaculus in the cpanel and its automatic and it never ask me for any extension , i just open the inc/config.php with text editor and in line 10 this is what i saw

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

^ try changing that line to $config['database']['type'] = 'mysql';
