Where did my site go?
« on: March 05, 2005, 09:11:22 AM »

Hi,

After you guys moved the sites. I can log in to Cpanel. It showed the the db's were ok. (check and repair)  But when I log onto my site, I get this all the time...  

"Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later."

How do I fix this?

Thank you.

What software are you running that is using the database?

G'day xykick...
Silly question here but did you by any chance delete your database? I can't see it via your CPanel.

Can you please double-check it both via CPanel and PHPMyAdmin and make sure it's there and get back to us?

Thanks!

Don't think I deleted it. Have not been in the cpanel for some time. Went one day and it (the site) was fine then a week or so later went to it and got that msg. Then checked my email saying you guys moved it. Went into the cpanel and checked under mySQL databases and it showed that it checked ok. It seems like a couuple things are missing from the cpanel. I do not see "PHPMyAdmin" to click on and check things.

Should there be a icon saying PHPMyAdmin to click on?

You'll see the PHPMyAdmin link at the bottom of the MySQL databases page. Once you get to PHPMyAdmin, you'll see a drop-down list of databases (if there are any) on the left-hand side of the screen.

PhpMyAdmin is under MySQL in the X theme which is what we use exclusively now.

I see the database and it checks ok.  Was your password one of the ones we had to change because it was either a dictioary word or too easily 'guessable'?  If so, you might try creating an additional user for the database and changing your SMF configuration file to use that user to log in.  It may be trying to send the wrong password.

You probably need to change your configuration file for SMF then.
