Pointing to a new database

[crzylee]

My forum has been extremely slow for a couple of months, and after talking with the hosting company (GoDaddy) today, they told me I should backup my current database and create a new one, then restore to the new db. They also said I needed to change my connection string, and being that this is the first forum I have been an Admin I am clueless as to how this should be done.

Thanks for your patience and for the help.

There are a few sections in this appendix in the manual you will want to read - Appendix 3: Technical Documents (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/appendix_3)
