Re: My Oekaki MYSql is not connecting?
First, go into your FunPic control panel and make sure you have the correct MySQL information. I wouldn't be surprised if they changed that information on you, with all the modifications they are making to their web service. The database host should be "localhost" no matter what.
Next get this new database editor. It will allow you to edit the database info just like in the installer, without messing up anything else on your board. It will tell you when the database is working properly. Make sure you do not change the database table prefixes, though. Those are set by the installer and should not be modified after the board has been installed.
BTW, I'm finally re-writing the oekaki installers so the board will be much easier to install, it will tell you right away if the database info is wrong, and you won't have to edit the dbconn.php file directly to change database information. I don't really know why OekakiPoteto has database information in the control panel, since you can't access the control panel if the database doesn't work!
