    Hi there,

    since yesterday without any reason the following error message occurs once I try to access the wp-admin area:

    Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘127.0.0.1’ (111 “Connection refused”) in /home/u336031975/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1416

    I tried to connect it to another database, but that didn’t solve the problem. I have send my host a ticket to ask if the database is down. In the same time I would like to know if you have any ideas or some expierence with this issue?

    The webhost is: Hostinger

    Thank you and hope to get it fixed quite soon.

    Paul

    “Connection refused” is something your hosting provider will need to fix for you. Either the database server is offline, or it’s refusing to communicate with your site.

    Thanks James,

    in the end it turned out the I had to change the config.php (hostname) and the qtranslate plugin. after that everything was great.
