phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

I've literally just copied the /forum folder from the original site and copied it up to my webspace. Where should i start looking to fix it?

the config file.

and you will need to recreate the database on the new website.

Ah not thinking properly, i guess you mean mysql4.php?

How do i recreate the database? Won't that wipe all the data?

go to phpmyadmin on the old site and export the database.

import it on new site.

not sure which config file you'll need to change, but almost all web apps have a file where datase variables are defined

The only option i have is to backup the database. I've done that but am unsure how to make it usable on my webspace.

Did you export it to txt files?

If so, you should be able to import it into the other database.

Yes it came down as a text file, how do i reimport it though if i'm getting the errors above every time i try and access it?

Set up PHPMyAdmin on your new web space and import it using that

to re-import it, go to the new site go into your phpmyadmin, should be an option for SQL and browse to find your text file, and go!
