    My blog has been down for the last couple of hours. It went down yesterday and came back on today morning and went back down again:(. It is giving me the following error message when I try to access blog.iginonline.com. Someone please help me...
    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.

    My blog is also down and I can't even get into the LOGIN page. It just so happens that my main site is down also. I'm powered by DreamHost. Are you hosted by the same?

    This is a hosting problem. WP will be working fine - email your hosts and ask them what's up.

    If you're hosted by DreamHost, do what Podz suggested or keep an eye out at this link.

    UPDATE: Anyone with DreamHost, their currently doing maintenance on their database. Either that or someone spilled coffee on a keyboard and made the building collapse.
