If the mysql server went down, then it needs to get restarted. There is nothing we can do.

Disable the bridge and see if Coppermine works.

In a fresh copy of smf.inc.php bridge file, there is no SMF_BD_HOST, but there is a SMF_DB_HOST.  Did you change that constant variable by accident?

Don't worry about disabling the bridge.  Just go into smf.inc.php and find SMF_BD_HOST and replace it with SMF_DB_HOST.

Have you verified that the smf.inc.php database information is still correct?  That error means Mysql2.streamline.net isn't a valid MySQL host.

Weird, i looked at smf.inc.php again and noticed at top the line

$path = '../smf'; was wrong, but i had not messed with it, i changed it to

$path = '../forum'; and it worked, so dont know what happened there.


Can you please tell me what files and folders need to be write or read protected so they cant be edited, thankyou for your time.

we have a "one question per thread" policy on this board you agreed to respect when signing up for your account. Your above question is not related at all to the initial question, so I'm flagging this thread as solved. You should CHMOD (set permissions) as stated in the docs that come with coppermine: the script needs write permissions inside the albums dir, that's all (write access to include dir only needed during install).
