My site is just GONE – just an error message

  • it says
    Error establishing a database connection
    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

    and with this thing there’s NO SUPPORT except this board. It’s kind of lame, having no support whatsoever. Anyway the first problem was yesterday–I posted something and suddenly 98% of the site disappeared, just a fragment remained,. This morning can’t get to it at all.

  • When you contacted your host and asked if the database was down, what was their response?

    Try to log into your phpMyAdmin. If you can, check to see if your DB is still there. While in tere check the table prefix. Check your wp-cofig and make sure the two match. Make sure your host hasn’t changed the SQL server address. If you are using ‘localhost’, find out what the direct address/ip is and try that. Also make sure your DB name and DB user name are the same in the wp-config. WP would never be at fault for this error. I bet it’s all your host.
