Not sure were to post this... well here goes,
My forum is in bad shape....http://forum.sirfanaticsholland.com/ (http://forum.sirfanaticsholland.com/)
when i try to connect to the forum is sometimes displays the index.php (after a while, it takes to long!), well that's ok.
Then when i click on a link, topic or whatever it says that "the page could not be displayed" or: "Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later."
I even got a mail from my forum saying that it has a database error.
I have this problem for 1 week now, i did'nt change anything whatsoever.
The only thing i did do was registering a new member.
My server Host (Lycos >:( ) made an anouncement about server maintenance on wednesday 7 september.
wel the 8th i still had the problems, so i called them.
The said it would take longer then expected, they would be finished on the 9th of september (in the afternoon)
Well i don't know if they are finished or not, but it still does'nt work!!
Oh yeah, my normal HTML site www.sirfanaticsholland.com (http://www.sirfanaticsholland.com) worked like a charmduring the whole week! but it's running on the same server.
Does anyone here have a explanation for my problems?
any help is welcome :-\

I would assume php/mysql is not working - since the html site does work.
The link is not working now, so i can't really tell either way.

Hi Bloc, thanks for the reply...

EDIT/
Ah, i get a template error now. That means PHP and Mysql is indeed working. But it seems something is wrong with the theme files. If you have ftp info I can take a quick look for you.

Solved. It was a missing } that caused it to stop. You might want to set a width in tpadmin for the forum now..I think its set to 110 or something.. ;D.

Thanks for the help Bloc but the forum still does'nt work properly....
it's still showing "can't display this page" from time to times.
It's better though, but i think the problem is somewhere in the database..
I just got this mail: SMF Database error!
There has been a problem with the database!
MySQL reported:
You need to check the database then..maybe repair tables or at least check them. Do you have phpMyadmin on your site?

Yes i have phpMyadmin. i already checked the boards it said they were fine.
... just wondering, is it possible to do a fresh install of the forum and later import the messages and boards????
If you simply take backup of all, upload a fresh install of the SMF files , upload your backup Settings.php you should have the same forum, but with new(er) SMF files. Any mod will have to be installed again of course.
Thanks for all your help Bloc. ^-^
