 * I have a website with a news blog. On my homepage i have integrated the blog 
   so that it shows the 5 latest news items. A few weeks ago my hosts decided to
   shut down and i have finally got the files back.
 * I have changed server, moved all my files, moved my “mysql” database files but
   now when i go onto my homepage, i get an error saying “error establishing database
   connection”.
 * Any ideas on how to fix this?
 * Thanks Guys!

 * Is the database server name good? Do you find in wp_options table some data with
   the old path (from /home/httpdocs/xxxx/ to /home/login/www/xxxx/) ?
