I just got a MYSQL ERROR preventing me from viewing my forum. Is anyone else experiencing this?

See screenshot for details.

How do I correct this?

Thanks.

Check to make sure the MySQL details you entered are correct.

I changed the Mysql password today, does this have anything to do with it?

Otherwise, I did not make any changes. Please advise.

Thanks.

Probably.

If you need to update the details MyBB uses to connect to the MySQL server, edit the file, inc/config.php

Yes, Edit your inc/config.php file and enter your new password.

Thanks Matt for the link! I learned what the others suggested here was correct. So I went to Inc >Config.php and updated the password but nothing happened.

I contacted my host and explained that I changed the password and he advised me to update my CGI scripts. Is this different from updating the password on Config.php? Please advise. Thanks

MY HOST FIXED IT - THANKS ALL.

that is a config file.. Just edit it with the database and username from your mysql database
