I moved my forum to another directory, from /lewis/forums to /forums and now it says "Cannot connect to database" does anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT: This was another error before... but I fixed that and to prevent making a new topic, I edited this one

First move all the files back to /lewis/forums then in the ACP-General Configuration page you need to change whatever "Script path-The path where phpBB2 is located relative to the domain name" from /lewis/forums to /forums and then move it to the /forums dir...
there may be an easier way but I don't know it.

You could also go to the phpmyadmin interface for editing the phpbb mysql database.
Once in phpmyadmin, go to the configuration table of phpbb database, and there you will find some value/parameter which will tell you the path of the phpbb installation, simply change that to reflect to your new path.(i think it is only at one place).

its either you haven't edited the config file or the mysql server is down
