Error establishing a database connection (5 posts)

    Last night I went to post to my blog (www.andydduncan.com/blog) but kept getting an error saying that my info in my wp-config.php file might be wrong or my host's database server might be down. Here's a screenshot of the exact error. My host is Dotster, and this is the second time within a month something has gone wrong (the first time my server was down, and this time I'm not sure at who's end the problem lies).
    Thanks for any help

    Did you do the first thing the error told you, contact your host. Most likely that server died and they can tell you what's going on.

    I'm in the cue right now to speak with a customer service rep...I also just tried reinstalling WP, but that didn't work.

    If your current host can't give you reliable service I say it might be time to change again.
