If you are using 'localhost' as your server, use the server specified in ops.
e.g mysql02.powweb.com

Try emailing support@powweb.com and tell them your www server and mysql server, or contact the live support if they are on.

I don't know about your hosting account but I see your forum account is new. I know they were having some glitches with new accounts. Perhaps this is related.
