    I have uploaded my my website using WordPress. after that it was working fine so didn’t changed anything (file). But certanely it stoped working,
    Error it is showing:

    ——-
    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

    i dont have any idea why it is behaving ike this, i didn’t change anything in wp-config.php. it said database connection error so aske my vender at server side to ask the connectivity problem of Mysql, he said it is working fine. server side is ok.

    need help to figure out the problem?
    Thanks in advance for the help

    your wp-config.php file needs to have your database information in it. it doesn’t come set up with it – it needs to have it before you run install.php to truly get your site set up.

    your post is misleading here – did you already change the wp-config.php before you uploaded it? (because you said you didn’t change any files at all) did you run install.php to get that error, or did you get it somewhere else?

    we really need ALL the details of what’s going on at your end before we can help you.

    lordofmind, did you say that your site was working before, and then suddenly stopped working?

    I mean, were you able to make posts and then read them?

    My site did suddenly stop working. I was in the middle of adding a post. I got the same error message when I try to access blog.muschamp.ca but I most definitely did not change my wp-config file suddenly.

    I can access the wp-admin. I can access my static web content ie http://www.muschamp.ca, I can access the database and download a backup through my control panel, I can run sql select statements in phpadmin on tables in my database. I’ve double checked my wp-config file and my username, database name and password. I even changed the password to be what it says in the wp-config file and reuploaded it.

    No love.

    This happened suddenly today, I did not make a single configuration change, theme change, or plugin change recently. I filed a support ticked with my host, but since everything is working except the public side of my blog…

    I’m running 2.0.5 according to my Dashboard and I may be able to post or edit posts or change options, so I really don’t understand why my site isn’t viewable all of a sudden.

    Retarded, I was able to using Firefox first view a specific post from the manage screen then load blog.muschamp.ca but in Opera, no love. I’m going to restart Opera and try Safari I guess. It makes no sense it was working, in Opera, seconds ago.

    Well it still doesn’t work in Opera, though it used to. I’m running one of their weekly builds
    Version 9.10
    Build 3570
    Mac OS X 10.4.8

    I’ve never seen this, everything including my website seems to be working except the front page of my blog in Opera. It is fine in Safari and Firefox.

    Weird. I think I’ll try a different build of Opera.

    Not that I have any explination, but the frontpage of my blog doesn’t work in the latest build of Opera. I can acces the admin fine and through the admin individual postings. Everything displays and renders fine except the front page which claims database connectivity problems.

    The database and my wp-config file seem to be fine and this problem does not occur in Firefox or Safari.

    What a waste of time. Sometimes it doesn’t pay to use the latest and greatest version of software, but the oddest thing is it was working and suddenly stopped. I didn’t change a thing on my end or or on the server…
