I installed the 2.0.9 update from 2.0.7.
In the process of installing that i also installed phpads.
When installing phpads i changed the database password on my server.
Now the main XOOPS site will not load.
I get error message:
This page cannot be displayed due to an internal error.

If you are the administrator of this site, please visit the XOOPS Troubleshooting Page for assistance.

Error [Xoops]: Unable to connect to database in file class/database/databasefactory.php line 34.
------------------------------------------
- visithttp://www.shangrilala.co.uk and click on any of the links to see the above error.

So now i have a problem. I can't remember the old password for the database so how do i change XOOPS to regognise the new password?
You help is greatly appreciated.

set permissions on your mainfile.php to not read-only
download mainfile.php
set database password to new value
upload mainfile.php to the webserver
set permissions for mainfile.php to read-only

When i went to change the permissions from read to not read im getting a bit confused.
The file is set: read - read - read - write(owner)
So when i un-check all the reads it wont let me download the mainfile.php.
Also i seem to have 2 mainfile.php files. 1 is in the main folder and the other is inside the html folder in xoops.
i have downloaded those 2 files and both say XOOPS is not installed.
I am wondering if i give you the ftp details could you fix this problem for me?
Also id like to change the name of the XOOPS folder but that has also given me problems.
Thanks
