means exactly what it says.

your config.php file is trying to connect to a database named "Ebosspotting" and to a table in that database named phpbb_config.

either the database name is wrong or the table prefix is wrong .


find out exactly what the database name is for the database that they restored for you and find out what the exact table prefix is in that database and edit your config.php file accordingly.

Hi,

Managed to change what was needed but now running in to this...

Code: Select all

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 3 [1064]

An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.
If anyone could help
