Database Error Help

  • I recieved this message trying to go to my site:
    Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in youn wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again.
    * Are you sure you have the correct user/password?
    * Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
    * Are you sure that the database server is running?
    Can anyone help me figure out how to fix this?

  • You have to go into that file (wp-config.php) first to make sure the information in there is correct to log into your database. If it is, then you’re at the same spot I’m at…

    I’m having the exact same problem, and my information is correct. What now?

    flores – either mysql is not available, or something in wp-config is incorrect.
    This may help:

    Strangely enough, the problem seems to have fixed itself. I’m not going to pretend to know what happened that changed things around, it just works now.

    The same problem happened to me few minutes ago and remains. Is it fair to say that the message will be generated whenever there any temporary MySQL problem on the hosting site? If so, is there any error trapping possible to prevent that long (and confusing for an average user) message from appearing?
