MyBB Community Forums

Hi,
So I moved to a new host and I backed up my whole website (forum and MySql DB) and I put all the files in to my new hosting account like how they were before. But the forum is the last version (1.6.0 I believe) and theres a mysql error. I need to keep my old forum members accounts, thats why I didn't just reinstall as MyBB 1.6.1 has a different "user" field. The forum is http://polarworld.co/forum and the error is

Quote:MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
1045 - Access denied for user 'skybucks_mybb1'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

If anyone could help that would be awesome!


Thanks

You just need to update your database details in ./inc/config.php, ask your host if you don't know what details need to go in here.

Hi,
Thanks! Now I have access to my forum! But there is just one problem. When you click on a link (Ex. Login) it will take you to the old forum url (Ex. Old forum login url) any ideas on how to fix that?

Sounds like you didn't change your settings before you moved. Using FTP, edit ./inc/settings.php, change your bburl to http://polarworldstaff.info/forum and your cookie domain to .polarworldstaff.info and then go to ACP > Configuration > General Configuration > change the Board URL and cookie domain again here.

Thanks! Now my whole forum is like new! Thank you so much!
