Ok, now it depends on which host you use too fyi.

I was using Siteground (avoid IMO, strictly IMO) and had

$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost';
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = 1022;

However I have always used port 3306 w/o any problems.

Additionally w/ SG I used:

$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'test_testing';

NOW, note the prefix is there so unless you need the value remove the DB prefix you have i.e.

$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = 'mx6_';

Which is wrong regardless due to this:

$config['Database']['dbname'] = 'mx-6_forum';

So they should kinda match i.e. $config['Database']['dbname'] = 'mx6_forum'; AS mx6 is the DB's prefix not the tables SO I say remove the value!

Make it this: $config['Database']['tableprefix'] = '';

Now currently I have switched over to Godaddy and that requires this:

$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'dbname.db.1234567.hostedresource.com';
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = 3306;

See if that helps you figure it out! Also close your browser COMPLETELY before attempting again or it can cause issues or repeat the same error messages when it is in fact ready to roll

AND now is the time to make a backup of your config file
