ERROR to login

  • 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 mysql. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

    Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
    Are you sure that the database server is running?
    If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

    I received above message when trying login, how do I solve this problem?

    I’ve been using WordPress for over a month now and have had no problems with this issue until today. I host through Yahoo Small Business who is a preferred partner for WordPress. Not sure what’s going on. Any other suggestions?

    Using Yahoo Small Business too. An have this problem. had this last week and it got ‘fixed’ by itself. Is ita problem with Yahoo or WP?

    Or is this problem specific to a theme. I am using Blix

    Those are good questions Teejay. I don’t think it’s theme-related since I’m using a different theme than you.

    Please email Yahoo tech support at above address.

    having the same problem from early morning today. I called Yahoo web hosting CS, and also emailed to this address, [email protected]. No success yet. Any thoughts?

    Having same problem with Yahoo hosting. Also sent an email to Yahoo (no word yet) and tried repairing SQL database, which did not help.

    Same problem here, on Yahoo hosting. Also using a different theme, so I suppose it’s something with Yahoo.

    why have i seen more than my fair share of PPL having problems with Yahoo hosting? it seems that Yahoo is no help when it comes to WP.

    if anyone is interested, i will be happy to allocate free space to you guys that are having trouble with Yahoo at no charge …

    Hi DP, Just noticed your post. Are you from an ISP?

    an ISP? Internet Service Provider ? no.

    i just own a web server and can set up an account with control panel access.

    i am offering this FREE – AT NO CHARGE – seeing that many people are having problems with Yahoo.

    Teejay08 (or anyone else who has previously had this problem with Yahoo) – how long did it take to ‘fix’ itself? I had the problem a few times on and off yesterday, and now it hasn’t been working since last night.
