Se an example below, what could the problem be? Get a couple of hundred of these every day.
Is the problem with the board or the server? (We are on a dedicated sever)

as the error is "Connect Failed", that mean it is on the server side, the script is unable to connect to the server.

you will have to check with the MySQL server if there is problems indicated in the logs... like connection track lost, or bad id link...

i was unable to reproduce your error by visiting your site, so i can tell it is not directly the script.

during the setup of vb the mysql must have worked but now you must have accidently deleted or changed something on your mysql database on your server that vb doesnt like or it could have been some one else who has access to the cpanel
i would suggest un-installing and re installing with delting the database and making a new one

This will not be solved by deleting a database. As Nexialys already replied this is a server error, most likely communication problem.

You'll want to contact your host and check the DB connections

Check your config.php file, typically this error means your DB is either down or the information typed in your config.php is incorrect.
