Are you sure you have the correct database details in your inc/config.php file? Usually "localhost" is what you use instead of an IP.

Thanks for reply, i am not sure, tell me where can i see inc/config.php file? please give me details in step by step i am very new .

You need to log into your FTP client. Open whichever directory your forum is in. Then open the inc directory. In that directory you will see a file called config.php. Open that file and make sure the values are correct.
