 * Hi,
 * I have a little big problem. My WordPress blog is down and the error message 
   is this: „Error establishing a database connection”.
 * Do you know how could I solve it?

 * First check your WP-CONFIG.php file if all the credentials are correct.

 * Everything ok with your wp-config settings? Your hoster might have a system error…
   are there running other applications on your server?

 * The information from wp-config.php is correct. Also, I have… just WordPress installed.
   
   Now, I am sending a ticket to my hoster.
