Help me I my site is down

[kobescoresagain]

I checked the database name... it is without the @%. I have called the host, but they seem to be taking forever.... Do you think it is a host issue.

[peterska2]

if it is without the @% then make sure that that is how you have it set in your config.php file

it is without it in the config

can someone paste the config file here, so I can replace it and try that

We cannot post your config file.

The mysql details are incorrect in your config file, either the username, password or database are wrong. Personally I would suspect the person who did the work you mention. Do you have phpmyadmin access to your site ?

[kobescoresagain]

yes, paul. I checked out the config multiple times, I got one for 3.5 that is identical to 3.5.3 and filled it in again, same error. The guy said he hadn't put anything up yet..... I can provide information to anyone that needs it, if you need passwords, let me know.

If your DB is active and your credentials are correct, the problem is most likely with your host.

You could try uploading a brand new fourms to a folder called test with a fresh config file with all of your correct credentials and see if that works ok - if that doesnt work with all fresh files then it has to be a hosting issue. (assumeing your username and pass to the database are correct)
