    Hello Dear Friends !

    Everything was running great but when I came back from school I got this message from my site :

    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.

    * 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.

    Any help please would be appreciated !

    Thanks

    Olgi

    Since it was running ok, and nothing is changed, then it might be that your database server is down. Might call your host and check with them.

    What if the host will reply that the database server isn't down !?

    Actually in how much does it take in order the database can be up again !?

    Only your host can answer that.
