Is something going on with mysql11.powweb.com??

I haven't been able to login to my (SMF) forum which accesses mySQL database on this server today.

I get the following:
Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

Day 2 and still not working.

Would this have anything to do with starting a new database? I opened a new one yesterday and it's on the same server. Is there a limit to the number/size of databases on a single server? Maybe that's the issue? Not really sure.

FTP in and look for a config.php file or similar relating to ur forum, check the details in it are correct. Are you using Mambo as well?

Not using mambo. It's a Simple Machines Forum (SMF) and it's been up and going for about a year with no problems so I wouldn't imagine something changed in the config.php file. But I will check anyway.

Sent an email to tech support and they were able to help.

They reset my password and all is well.

Thanks.
