As far as I believe, it does not cause your forum (phpBB) and coppermine gallery to not work.

From looking at the error messages...

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

MySQL said: Access denied for user ######@'localhost' (using password: YES)

It seems you may have the wrong database information, ie. database name, server, and password. Did you change subdomain, or change webhosts/server recently? That could also be another problem - you'll have to modify your database manually using something like phpMyAdmin.

I have phpBB & SMF Forums, and Coppermine Gallery installed and they ALL work!!

As far as im aware, x10's free server doesnt have it (or it working). If it did, you could go

https://www.yourdomain.com/~yourcpanelusername/ and use the shared certificate.

Im sure corey could do a thing where you pay a certain amount and get a dedicated ip (So you can use your own ssl certificate).

The three types you'll often use on the internet:

http is Hypertext Transfer Protocol, the way information is sent for webpages and such. It is insecure and uses port 80

https is http with port 443 and encryption

ftp is File Transfer Protocol, and is generally used for uploading files to a server

We should beable to do that with x10 Cash, buy a dedicated IP for 1 year or something.

Ok, for your phpBB, try looking into your config.php file. It is located in the folder that you installed phpBB into, for example, http://www.crash.exofire.net/phpBB/

You can access it either by using a FTP Program such as SmartFTP, or by the "File Manager" in cPanel. Check that all the details in the file match up with your own details:

$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbname = '###'; //your database name (eg. goran_phpb1)
$dbuser = '###'; //your username to enter your phpBB database
$dbpasswd = '###'; //your password to access the phpBB database


Similarly for your Coppermine: look into config.inc.php. This is located in the folder called include inside your gallery folder, for example, http://www.crash.exofire.net/gallery/include/

Check all details are correct:

<?php
// Coppermine configuration file

// MySQL configuration
$CONFIG['dbserver'] = 'localhost'; // Your database server
$CONFIG['dbuser'] = '###'; // Your mysql username
$CONFIG['dbpass'] = '###'; // Your mysql password
$CONFIG['dbname'] = '###'; // Your mysql database name


// MySQL TABLE NAMES PREFIX
$CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX'] = 'cpg###_';
?>

Hope this helps!!! :)
