Check that the db infos are updated accordingly at the config.php file. If they are, then make sure that the forum db user has got full permissions and access to the db where he is assigned to.

Well, the database informations at the config.php file should match those of whatever database your forum is residing on. All you have to do is upload the config.php file to your pc, open it with a php editor program, enter the right db infos, save the changes and re-upload it back overwritting the old one and you should be all set.

P.s. Did you move the database to the new host btw? Can you tell us the exact procedure that you followed?

i backed up from old host and uploaded the backed up file to new host server .. then they restored it and said that it got errors .. i know it cant be because that back is fine . it must have problem with giving permissions to database ..and after you mentioned i checked config.php and my sql on cpanel .. they both got different names .

Then update the config.php file with the right db infos as I explained above.

the DB name is different and the config.php names are different ..

with that being said .. i dont have to change the names of DB but must change config.php names .. am i correct ..

but if i have to change the config names i want to say you some that these are the names i created 2 years ago and i never changed it .. how come i should change the names now with using the same database . i am new to it, dont take me wrong .

Change the names in the config.php file, there are 3 DB settings in there that must be correct
DB username
DB password
DBname

The username and dbname will look something like wrest_username and wrest_password

The reason you need to change is now is that the DB name etc has all changed on the new server/host, and your settings in config.php must be changed to match.

As always, keep a copy of the old one on your computer.

It looks like the lastposterid column is missing in the forum table. Maybe something ddin''t go right during the database transfer.
