Hello, today I decided to make a forum!
Anyways, when trying to install a plugin (ACP -> Plugins), I got an error about "max_user_connections reached", or something similar to that.

As a result, I came to this forum for support. I found one solution which involved editing the database portion of my config.php file in the /inc/ directory of the MyBB root. It claimed that it would help out with my problem.

Then clumsy me did so and saved it, closing the file without keeping a history of it.
I found a guide by Chris Boulton (pretty sure he's a Product Manager) for MyBB v1.1.
I followed Chris Boulton's support and transferred the new config.php file to my domain via FTP.

And now I get this error:

Please help! ^^

I'm running MyBB 1.8.6 by the way! Smile
You probably shouldn't be using a config file from MyBB 1.1 (2006) for MyBB 1.8.

Haha. That wasn't a smart move on my end, huh?
Thanks for the speedy reply! ^^
I'll check it and mark your answer as the best if it works! Thanks Smile
