There seems to have been a slight problem with the database.
Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

hmmr.....:bunny:

Ask your host. IIRC it's the sign of an unclean MySQL shutdown.

Is MySQL running? That error reminds me of when I try to connect to MySQL via console on my Linux server, when the MySQL server isn't started ;) Make sure its running, or contact your host.

SQL is running, actually. I got the install.php to run on www.mysite.com/forums/admin/install.php

but when it got to the sql connection, I got that same error.
I filled in config.php with the proper database info etc, but still no luck.

And to top it off, when I try the other URL (the one i want)

http://forums.myforums.net/admin/install.php

i get a blank 404 error...


O_O....i hate the host....

ARG....my test boards weren't NEARLY as hard -_-!

have your host go into the /tmp folder and clear all files, then restart mysql...
