MyBB Community Forums

Since I moved my sites to a different hosting company I now get this error when trying to access my forum:

MyBB SQL Error

MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
1045 - Access denied for user 'milten5'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Query:
[READ] Unable to connect to MySQL server

Here's my config.php file. What' the fix?

$config['database']['type'] = 'mysqli';
$config['database']['database'] = 'miltenbe_mybb1';
$config['database']['table_prefix'] = 'mybb_';

$config['database']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$config['database']['username'] = 'milten5';
$config['database']['password'] = 'xxxxxxxxx'

I would guess the sql password name, database and/or password are incorrect you will need to look at init.php and adjust the values to your new database config

I saw nothing in init.php that would relate. However, config.php setting are correct.
