Installed chatserv 7.2 patch, site is down now

My site is running on v7.2. I just uploaded the chatserv 7.2 patch.

Now my site is down and I can't get it to come back up. If I try to go to the admin page I get this message:

"There seems to be a problem with the MySQL server, sorry for the inconvenience.

We should be back shortly."

If I try to access my domain from the top I get a page from my web host.

I did a full backup from cpanel prior to doing this update. But I can't figure out how to use the backup without having to download it and then reupload it. It is 20 megs in size and I have a slow dial up.

Please help me!!!

Carryconcealed,

Did you overwrite your config.php with the one in Chat's patches?? If so, just edit it to reflect your database info

Code:

$dbhost = "localhost";


$dbuname = "root";


$dbpass = "";


$dbname = "nuke";

Did you use the new config.php it is different it uses
if (eregi("config.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

To be compatable with the patched series mainfile.php ect....

I used the new config.php file.

Seems to be backup now? If I use index.php instead of just your domain name.
