This is a generalized error that generally indicates a configuration issue (such as the database information being incorrect); you can disable the mechanism that hides the message (it does so for security [passwords can be displayed], if your forums are configured to save errors to a log file it'll be displayed there) by editing the libs/mysqli.inc.php file and changing:
Code
$showerror = 0;

To:
Code
$showerror = 1;

Be sure to change the value back once the error message has been viewed (as again it can contain connection information for your server, saving logs is the recommended option).
