Problem with Vbulletin

[AzErEuS]

On friday everything was working just fine.
But from that day on the database keep getting an error.

Database error in vBulletin : mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Can't connect to MySQL server on '190.210.10.66' (101)/www/************/htdocs/foros/includes/class_core.php on line 311

I check the line but there is nothing there i could change.
Is this a problem with the hosting or should i start thinking in a possible hacker?

Regards. Damian.

Can't connect to MySQL server:

If this is a dedicated/vps server, please check your mysql logs, make sure logging is enabeld in the mysql config file.

If this is a vhosted site, you need to speak to your host about the mysql issues.

That error means that either mysql crashed or it simply wasnt running and is possibly restarting.

Well yes snake you were right, they changed the Sql server with out telling me.
I will ask for a discount.

here is the thing, they give me a new ip for th database.
But to change it the manual of vbulleting suggest that i should close the forum.
As you may know i cant, is there any way i could close the forum from the php file?

Thanks again.

The forum couldnt be closed, thats just a precaution to keep your data from corruption under normal changes.

Just edit config.php to the new ip and you should be good to go, you could close the forum after the change and do a repair/optimization thru phpmyadmin, jsut to be safe.
