PHPBB - SQL Error

Anyone know how i can change the error message that PHPBB displays when the SQL database is down ?? the message it displays normally breaks my site layout up and i just wanted to replace all the error message with something like "SQL Database down for maintenence please check back soon".

Any ideas will be apreciated

I don't recommend it. Anyway, if you want to do it so badly, just do that:

Open:

Code:

<root>/includes/db.php

Find:

Code:

{
   message_die(CRITICAL_ERROR, "Could not connect to the database");
}

Replace With:

Code:

{
   die("HTML");
}

Replace "HTML" with what you want to show

PS: Not tested if it works, you take the risk.

In this unpleasant situation you may try sql repair. It can solve out troubles with sql files up to 16TB. The utility doesn't modify source data during recovering. It starts under low system requirements.
