Tried to update and failed utterly (2 posts)

    I hadn't used my site or the admin associated with it in about a year, so when I tried to update the version of WordPress, everything went wonky. I figured out I had to make some other updates through my hosting server, GoDaddy. So I did that and they walked me through some things. I've installed the newest version of WordPress now (using FileZilla), but I'm getting the following error:
    ====

    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 h50mysql89.secureserver.net. 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?
    ====

    I am almost positive the username, password, and hostname are correct, and GoDaddy says this is some sort of scripting error they can't help with. Help? Anyone?

    There's nothing we can really do to help other than to point your right back to the details on the error message. It's not a scripting error.
