 * Hi
    I recently moved hosting for a site and have subsequently moved back as it
   didn’t work out – I left all files and databases intact and have just changed
   DNS settings back to the original but can’r access the site, getting this message:
 * > Error establishing a database connection
   > This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.
   > php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at 213.175.211.90.
   > This could mean your host’s database server is down.
   >  * 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?
   > If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host.
   > If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.
 * My original databases are intact and I have made no changes to the site since
   moving. 213.175.211.90. is the IP address of the server I moved to and am no 
   longer hosted on.
    Any help greatly appreciated as I’m completely stumped Nick

 * The information in your wp-config.php must reflect the database at your current
   host. If you don’t know the values for DB_HOST, DB_NAME, DB_USER, and DB_PASSWORD,
   then talk to your host.
