XF 1.4 Problem with config.php

[Ron G]

I've done something to config.php that has shut down my board. I needed to set myself as a super admin, so I went into config.php (using Notepad) and found:

<?php

$config['db']['host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db']['port'] = '3306';
$config['db']['username'] = '';
$config['db']['password'] = '';
$config['db']['dbname'] = '';

$config['superAdmins'] = '1';

My user number is 2, so I changed 1 to 2 and closed the file. Initially, I got an error message telling me that there was a problem with line 1 of config.php. I went back in to look at it and tried to restore it to its original text. I now get the following error message:

An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later.

Have you purposefully removed the username, password and dbname there for posting this? Or are they actually missing from the config.php file?

They were missing when I opened it.

Make sure you use a program such as Notepad++ and save as UTF-8 without BOM.

They were missing when I opened it.

Your site would never have worked without the DB information.

I have this problem as well, can someone help me fix this?
