# Customizing Database Error Page

 * For some reason or another, WordPress runs into problems connecting to the mySQL
   database powering it (probably more of a TextDrive problem). This isn’t usually
   much of a problem because shortly afterwards, the connection is re-established
   and my web page shows up just fine. I’d just like to be able to customize the
   error page so that instead of the generic error page, I can load an alternative
   page that informs users that the weblog section is down but the static pages 
   are all available. Does anyone have any ideas what file needs to be editied?
