Added Another Bb & Broke The Old One...

[BuickStreet]

Hi, please help if you can. I've been without a forum for 24 hours and I'm really starting to panic.

 

Here is what is happening:

I was a bit nervous about trying mods on a live forum so I decided to create another forum and practice new mods, importing, exporting...etc on it.

 

The new BB creation at /forumtest failed.

 

(Old forum is in /forum and the new one was suppose to go in /forumtest).

 

Now when I go to see my forum all I get is this error.

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'mrbuick_xmb2@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/mrbuick/public_html/forum/db/mysql4.php on line 48

phpBB : Critical Error

 

Could not connect to the database 

 

forum url = http://www.buickstreet.com/forum/

 

I have a db backup from a few days ago which will be ok to use.

 

Any help is appreciated while I search for what I did wrong.

 

 

 

 

Thanks

Did it give you an error message when the new creation failed?

 

Does it create the database for the new forum?

We managed to fix it by resetting my username and password (TCH end).

 

It claims to have created the new (second) forum ok and the folder gets created and is full but when I go there on the web - nothing. To answer your question, no it doesn't seem to create a new db.

 

I have started another thread because after we fixed it I tried creating a second forum again and it broke the first forum again. The forum is actually broken as I type this and I want to learn what I am doing wrong so I can stop doing it!

 

The new thread is here...
