I can't have the same named database I had on my previous host so I want to find out where I can edit the name.

Thank you.

What part do I edit?
well my database was called "mybbforum"
so i did replace "mybbforum" with "newforumname"

same with prefix

to prevent spoils
ALWAYS have a backup of your sql
OK...but how will MyBB communicate with the database? How will editing a backup do anything???

In /inc/config.php
I already did a host change 1 month ago
i rename database name
then i edited config.php
and all was ok
