MyBB Community Forums

Hi, I am trying out some new servers and they use MySQLdb but my forum does not have the db_mysqldb file, I checked the original MyBB package and that doesn't contain this either. Does MyBB not support MySQLdb? My old sevrers used MySQLi and I have changed the inc/config file.

solved: I managed to get my database working by using the direct databse address instead of 'localhost' and using db_MySQL (just set the database format to plain old mysql)

They're called 'db_mysql' and 'db_mysqli'. We also have 'db_sqlite2' and 'db_sqlite3' as well as 'db_pgsql'

Yep thanks, I was a bit stupid, because I didn't realise this new host uses a remote database server, so my database wasn't working and I read on the site that the MySQL version is MySQLdb, so I was tyring to use that as my version even though I've never heard of it before! Whoops! Sorry...
