    Hey guys, 2 months ago I decided to take a break from my wordpress site and decided not to pay for hosting (hostgator) anymore.

    Today I decided to reactivate my account, but I can’t seem to access my site:

    musclebuildingprogramreviewed.com

    because the following error pops up:

    Error establishing a database connection

    I have also tried to access it through wp-admin and wp-config, but nothing seems to help.

    Anybody know what the problem seems to be?

    Thanks in advance

    Have you spoken to your hosts about this?

    They say that it can be an ISP problem, but I have tried different places with different computers, still the same thing. I can’t even access my cpanel

    I think that on reactivating your account they may have change the access details to the database.

    1. Check that you still have the database and that it is not blank.
    2. Try to login to it with the credentials you currently have in your wp-config.php
    3. If logind doesn’t work, create a new user for the database with all access rights and use that in the wp-config.php file.

    This is clearly not a ISP problem. The wp website cannot connect to the database. This may be because the database is no more, or login details are changed.

    Hey Voala, I tried creating a new user and password through MySQL Database and used that in wp-config.php, but its still the same problem.

    So you think it is hostgator who I should contact again or is there something else I can do?
