 * My blog was working for 3 days at [http://www.franklinj.com/blog/](http://www.franklinj.com/blog/)
   but now I get a “Error establishing a database connection” error.
 * I have checked :
 * * 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?
 * All is ok.. it worked for days! I called my service provider and he said everything
   is ok, the database is not down. In my database config panels it has a green 
   light..

 * Did you change anything during this time?
 * Check your server error logs to see if there’s any anomalies.

 * define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); // Change this to a unique
   phrase.
    define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); // Change 
   this to a unique phrase. define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);//
   Change this to a unique phrase.
