    I had my amember setup for me, I paid someone to do it.

    Someone gained access to my vbulletin forum DB, which was linked to the aMember software. i changed the password for my DB, which was linked to aMember.

    I know get a "Cannot connect to MySQL: " error when visiting any page that;s linked to amember. I am confused as to why a change in my vbulletin Mysql info would cause that error, as amember is in it's own database I think.


    Where is the database info edited in the config files? Which file? Please let me know about this as soon as possible

    amember/config.inc.php contains your database info, make sure this hasn't been hacked too.

    You may need to go into your hosting control panel and re-grant access for the amember database user to the vbulletin database.
