Title: "Connection failed"
Post by: jovanni on February 14, 2020, 04:27:36 pm
Hi there! This morning I noticed that there is a problem with the database connection in my newly installed forum. Actually I do not recall any changes whatsoever made to either the database or the code. And up until sometime ago the forum was running smoothly, allowing me to set it up for live usage soon.
To start with: where would i find the db access details entered during install - in the db or in the php? 
Thanks!

[here is the error msg:]
Connection Problems
Sorry, we were unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.
