I keep getting this error, “There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.

Please check the settings, then try again” and I have put in the information in bb-config-php. How can I solve it?

Thanks

Chrishajer has a great explanation of how the database connection works here:

Or is it possible you’re on GoDaddy? If so, try the instructions here:

Thank you for your help. I deleted the files and started again, now it works.
