[Answered] Error Establishing A Database Connection

[trutinel]

I've received the Error Establishing a Database Connection error for the last 4 hours. It usually does not last nearly this long and I was wondering if there was a way this could be fixed.

My website is: MannyRutinel.com

My username is: trutinel

This can a issue related with Stevie MYSQL crash before 2 months, but it doesn't last for 4 hours continuous atleast ! It could be misconfiguration of the username/password you are using to connect.

The database server is up on Stevie at the moment.

 

Did you change something recently? Check your configuration to make sure the username and password are correct, and verify that the database user is assigned in cPanel.

Down just now Stevie MYSQL

Up again : down for just 10 minutes.

I was recently temporarily suspended for using "too many resources" and when they unsuspended it, this started occurring. It still has not fixed itself and I have not changed anything.

My website is working fine(also on Stevie, and also Wordpress).

 

Try to follow these steps:-

1. Create a new user for MYSQl in cPanel and grant required priviligies for wordpress to work to the DB.

2. Change the name of the user and the password of the user in the wp-config.php file via the file manager in cPanel.

3. Also check the Database name in wp-config.php file.

4. After updating the user/password in the wp-config.php your website should work fine.

 

Had happened to me once, all the priviligies granted to the user were lost, and granting the user the rights did the work for me
