Re: Ok new problem major error
Did you or your hosts change any of the database information or edit the config.php file?
Re: Ok new problem major error
Huh, this is trivial you just forgot:
1) create username and database as it described in your config file
or
2) this user does not have permission for this database

Re: Ok new problem major error
That error suggests you have an existing phpBB folder but the information in the config.php file does not match that of the database.

Re: Ok new problem major error
Depends what you changed to begin with.
Open the config.php file and see if it matches what the database wants.

Re: Ok new problem major error
WHen opening the config.php file I get this
Code: Select all
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forum/config.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Re: Ok new problem major error
Download it from the server and open it in a plain text editor like notepad++
But my original point remains. Either you or your hosts changed something about the config file or database info. If you don't know what it is, you need to ask them.

Re: Ok new problem major error
No she didn't change anything and Im waiting to hear from her. It was when I removed the old install of phpbb that this happened. I am just so confused none of this makes any sense to me.
