 * I just updated the wordpress version in the dashboard as directed. Have done 
   this to several sites without issue and suddenly one of them now has an error
   screen reading “Database Connection Error..” The site does not load and I am 
   not able to access the dashboard either!!
 * How do I fix this? Please Advise
 * Thank You, David

 * Everything is back up now. I suppose it was just taking a bit of time to process
   the update.
