I've had my site up almost a year with zero problems.  Tonight I went into my FTP (SmartFTP) to simply upload an attachment.  After doing this, I went back to my forum to find this message:

Connection Problems

Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

Here is my URL: http://l2evermore.com/forum/index.php

I didn't make any changes to any files.  I did however have to change my password, due to the recent password change request from LP.  Is there another place I should need to amend my password that lack of doing so might be generating this error?  Or is this a message generated simply because I was logged into my FTP client and the forum just needs time to propagate again after I log out of the FTP?

Thanks for any advice!

Could changing my password have affected my Settings.php file?  After looking over my forum sub-folder under my public_html folder, I see that Settings.php is now dated today as accessed or amended, although I didn't directly do anything with this file.

If this is indeed my problem, any idea how I can go about having it work correctly after having changed my password?

Thanks again, sorry I'm really in the dark on this.

Sounds like your password needs to be reset. Please submit a ticket to support@lunarpages.com and post me the ticket number and I will get that taken care of for you.

I hope this helps,

Thanks Randy, I appreciate the quick response.  I actually just got finished uploading repair_settings.php to my SMF folder and after directing my browser to that file, was able to update my password in Settings, so all is good now.  Thanks again.
