I believe he set that IP as it.

Try making the hostname say 'localhost'.

See attached the Cpanel Sqll:

And here is my complete config.php file:



<?php
/**
* Database configuration
*
* Please see the MyBB Wiki for advanced
* database configuration for larger installations
* http://wiki.mybboard.net/
*/

$config['database']['type'] = 'mysqli';
$config['database']['database'] = 'mhhautoc_database';
$config['database']['table_prefix'] = 'mybb_';

$config['database']['hostname'] = 'sql.byethost35.org';
$config['database']['username'] = 'mhhautoc_RABIH';
$config['database']['password'] = 'xxxxxxxxxx';

/**
* Admin CP directory
* For security reasons, it is recommended you
* rename your Admin CP directory. You then need
* to adjust the value below to point to the
* new directory.
*/

$config['admin_dir'] = 'admin';

/**
* Hide all Admin CP links
* If you wish to hide all Admin CP links
* on the front end of the board after
* renaming your Admin CP directory, set this
* to 1.
*/

$config['hide_admin_links'] = 0;

/**

* of the most commonly accessed data in MyBB.
* By default, the database is used to store this data.
*

* you can change the value below to 'files', 'memcache', 'xcache' or 'eaccelerator' from 'db'.
*/

$config['cache_store'] = 'db';

/**
* Memcache configuration
* If you are using memcache as your data-cache,
* you need to configure the hostname and port
* of your memcache server below.
*
* If not using memcache, ignore this section.
*/

$config['memcache']['host'] = 'localhost';
$config['memcache']['port'] = 11211;

/**
* Super Administrators
* A comma separated list of user IDs who cannot
* be edited, deleted or banned in the Admin CP.
* The administrator permissions for these users
* cannot be altered either.
*/

$config['super_admins'] = '1';

/**
* Database Encoding
* If you wish to set an encoding for MyBB uncomment
* the line below (if it isn't already) and change
* the current value to the mysql charset:
* http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/c...mysql.html
*/

$config['database']['encoding'] = 'utf8';

/**

* The MyBB task system can automatically prune
* various log files created by MyBB.
* To enable this functionality for the logs below, set the
* the number of days before each log should be pruned.
* If you set the value to 0, the logs will not be pruned.
*/

$config['log_pruning'] = array(
'admin_logs' => 365, // Administrator logs
'mod_logs' => 365, // Moderator logs
'task_logs' => 30, // Scheduled task logs
'mail_logs' => 180, // Mail error logs
'user_mail_logs' => 180, // User mail logs
'promotion_logs' => 180 // Promotion logs
);

Try changing the database type to mysql (unless that's been set by the host)

The DataBase is already mysql....Huh



Not sure why it's taking so long to type the correct password in... right, delete that database user in cPanel. Open up notepad. Type the password you want to use. Copy it. Create a new user. Paste the password in. Then past the password into config.php.
I would like to thank you all for being so kind.

I wont chose best answer since all was good Blush

Anyway the site is now runing Big Grin

The problem was as hosting support reported to me: The hostname in your configuration file and permissions for the MySQL user.

Anyway Thank u all....


MYBB IS THE BEST!! Just to let you know, when they realized the difficulty of hacking the site they hacked my PC and stole all my passwords including the mails....

My best regards to all.Rolleyes
