Getting Error Message

  • When I go to my URL, I get this:
    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?
    – – – – –
    Every support forum/documentation place I have searched here says “Contact your host”.

    I contacted Yahoo Webhosting and spent the last half an hour on the phone with them. They swear there is nothing wrong on their end, that it has to be a WordPress problem.

    Can anyone help me? Thanks.

    Mine just came back – hope yours did!

    Last week, we tried an upgraded piece of software in one of our farms as part of our regular efforts to make our FastCGI environment even faster. Although this upgraded component tested smoothly in QA, one database server in the farm required some additional work. This caused the ‘unable to connect to db’ errors many of you saw recently. The db server work happened as soon as we learned about this issue and we believe will no longer cause issues. We’re monitoring the associated box closely and will react quickly if anything needs further attention.
