I need some help

Ummm… I was using SMF Forums on my link. (http://cf-vcmp.rf.gd).
The problem I’m facing is the website doesn’t connect to the database. Maybe, because recently my cPanel, FTP and MySQL passwords were changed. So, I thought maybe changing it from the Softaculous part would rectify my error… But I get this error.

And also to not that all the details I’m entering are correct, I just don’t know abt the SB Password if it’s correct or not. Tell me abt that, do I need to use my MySQL password as DB password?

are you Trying to install SMF? because it is already installed but with database error.
To see what’s the actual error, enable display errors:

not working :frowning:

is it something like the DB servers maybe are down?

The database servers are not down. You can confirm this for yourself by opening phpMyAdmin from your control panel and seeing the contents of your databases.

However, there does not seem to be any content in the database epiz_25449774_346. It doesn’t appear to exist at all, in fact.

Just to be sure: did you make any changes to the settings in Softaculous?

No I didn’t make any change in Softaculous settings. I wanted to but the DB doesn’t connect…
And IDK abt the DB not existing cuz the forum settings.php is as it was, and the database wasn’t deleted so what might be the problem?

If it doesn’t exist, it needs to be created.

But how did it get deleted all by itself? I didn’t do anything to the databases…
