Hi, I have been a MyBB member for some time now and I wanted to download an automatic donation system located here. I went through certain steps in a notepad document and I got to a step where I had to figure out my hostname IP address for MySQL, my MySQL username, and my MySQL password. I entered the hostname IP and the username but I realized that I didn't even know the password to my only user in the database, I clicked "change password" and changed the password to my desired password and confirmed it. I entered the information into the notepad for my donation system. The donation system steps then told me to make a page on my website with a /donate/ at the end as a folder. So I proceed to my forum in order to go to my page manager (a plugin) to make it. I enter my forum's url and am prompted with an error page and an error code:
MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.
SQL Error:
1045 - Access denied for user 'XXXXXXXX_XXXXX'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Query:
[READ] Unable to connect to MySQL server
Please contact the MyBB Group for support.
I have X'ed out the username for privacy purposes. I do not know if other users can see it or just me but if you would like to view the page, click right here. I do not know why this is giving me this error, I have never used MySQL in my life, all I know is that it is a database. I have deleted my database and created a new one and deleted my username and created a new one all with the same credentials, it was to no avail. I need my forums up in order to serve my community so any help would be greatly appreciated. I first off, believe that it has something to do with my password change because of the (using password: YES) part of the error, or maybe that's just information. Help! Thanks!
P.S People always answer people with certain queries that the victim needs to run, I don't know what they mean or how I would run them. Every time I go into my hosting service it shows me the program "MySQL Databases" and "Remote MySQL" and such. I have no way to run queries in those programs so I try to run the listed queries that were given to the victim in PHPMyAdmin's SQL section, no use, it would give me a syntax error every time I tried to run a listed query. If I do need to run queries, please tell me where to go and how to get there! Thanks!
