MyBB Community Forums

My friend texted me and told me that our forum wasn't working, so I went to the site to see what the problem was, and I got a page that said:

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

SQL Error:
1045 - Access denied for user 'lhsconnection'@'184.168.152.138' (using password: YES)
Query:
[READ] Unable to connect to MySQL server

Site URL: www.lhsconnection.net
MyBB Version: 1.6

My question (as is sortof apparent ) is what is wrong, and how do I fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Read the wiki:

Information: This occurs when you are using MySQL and the database password is incorrect in ./inc/config.php. To fix this, open ./inc/config.php and check the entry for $config['database']['password']. If you do not know what needs to be here, contact your host provider.

Your database password is incorrect in /inc/config.php. You need to open that file, look for $config['database']['password'] and make sure the database password is correct.

Thanks for the [quick] help - from now on I'll be sure to read documentation first.
