something would go wrong, and it did. I visited my Wordpress based Cmsmind.com and The-Webhosting.com and found this error message waiting for me: "Database error establishing a database connection wordpress ubuntu Error: Error establishing a database connection" Database Error - Error Establishing a Database Connection I was able to fix the problem right away because I knew what the problem was. The database name and password are stored on https://discussion.dreamhost.com/thread-137469.html 2 different places. Information in both places must match before permission to connect to the database is granted. When you Install WordPress, the database name and password were automatically generated This database username and password is stored in 2 different places: 1. a static config file in your file server and in the 2. Dreamhost account. The database username and password is stored in Dreamhost so you can manage the user privileges The database username http://www.the-webhosting.com/how-to-fix-error-establishing-a-database-connection-in-dreamhost/ and password is stored on the config on file server as a connection document since files need to constantly talk to your database. If you change the password in Dreamhost account, but not in the WordPress config file, you will get this error message.

Click on ‘Save Changes' 2.

WordPress I've run across a few WordPress sites recently that have been spontaneously throwing "Error Establishing A Database Connection." Some of the fixes are pretty simple http://www.vsellis.com/fix-error-establishing-a-database-connection-with-wordpress/ but in a few cases the root cause was a bit more obtuse. Below are a few things to look into that might help fix the issue if it's happening to your website. The Easy Ones: Check your wp-config.php file and make sure that all of the following are correct (keep in mind that case sensitivity matters) database host datbase name error establishing database username database password Login to phpMyAdmin and: make sure you can login to phpMyAdmin, if not the database server might be down, contact your hosting provider repair your tables optimize your tables The less obvious cause of the problem may also be that your account was originally set up to use PHP4 and your hosting provider may have upgraded to error establishing a PHP5. I've seen this twice recently and in both cases the hosting provider had to be conatacted to update the account but it both cases it also fixed the issue. The host in question was DreamHost though I know others will allow you to select the version of PHP you want to use when you set it up. There is more on WordPress moving to PHP5 though WordPress.org still has the minimum requirements set at PHP 4.3. If the easy fixes don't bring your site back, look into the PHP version, either way it's probably a good idea to upgrade if you are still on an older version of PHP. You may also want to look at the WordPress Support Forums for other options that might be mentioned as well, if you find another solution to the issue not mentioned here please feel free to come back and leave a comment with what you did to fix it so we can help others in the same situation.
