Title: Database Error Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Database Error * [aarontcan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aarontcan/) * (@aarontcan) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-error-154/) * “Error establishing a database connection” * I was just updating my header.php file on my website (realestaterentalsmaui.com) and after I went to save the website no longer displays. I changed the of the website to “Real Estate Rentals Maui” instead of what theme provided( something along the lines of ‘<title><ci_title>’ which is customizable through the theme settings). After this happened the website went kaput. How can I recover it?

A change such as you made usually wouldn’t cause that particular error. PHP syntax message maybe but not a database connection issue. This usually means that your table prefix in your wp-config isn’t matching your actual database table prefix. Is it possible that you changed this? Might want to contact your host as this is definitely a hosting issue (not WordPress per se) Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) The topic ‘Database Error’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [connection](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/connection/) * [database](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/database/) * [title](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/title/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 1 reply * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Mike Price](https://wordpress.org/support/users/castroboy/) * Last activity: [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-error-154/#post-5185577) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
