Do you have full access to your board including FTP and phpMyAdmin? How did you install the board, did you use a host provided installer? Presumably you're talking about editing config.php? If so you download the file to your desktop using FTP and make a backup copy for safety. Then, edit the file using a plain text editor like Notepad++ and upload it back to the server replacing the existing one. Please supply a link to your board.

I have created a forum with free hosting and installed phpbb there with subdomain.
Then I used addon domain service to use the domain name for all the existing files, so I can easily move the files.
I changed the dbname, pass, username, prefix but it showed me error on visiting the site. What is the proper way to change it?
If you've changed those 4, then you should edit your config.php to reflect those changes.
$dbname = '????';
$dbuser = '????';
$dbpasswd = '????';
$table_prefix = '????';
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Yes, I have access to FTP and phpMyAdmin. I am using "infinityfree[dot]net" free hosting service which allows me to upload limited files at once using FTP.
I have used MyBB and successfully restored many time using config file. So, I thought to do the same thing with phpbb will simple. But I found something is missing when changing there.

What database name are you using in the configphp and did you delete the production folder in the cache directory?
Oh no...I found the same ans somewhere but I was confused because he did not clear which files should I delete. As you told here to delete files in the "production" folder right...
Should I delete all files under production folder? This folder contains twig folder and other php files...
