janusdouble Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 hey guys, woke up in the morning (I'm not singing Ke$ha) and your site wouldn't load at all. my page was showing this error 'Error establishing a database connection'. A few minutes ago, the site came back and cpanel works and although my files are intact since I had zero access to them and couldn't have altered them, I still get the database error when I try to load my page. my account name is harnes8 and my page is www.cinesthesia.co.cc. thank u in advance ok it works fine now, sorry to bother u hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janusdouble Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 it seems to be semi-working with explorer. my page opens up but in only one instance, if I open a part of it in another window it doesn't load. google chrome and firefox pop the same database error message. is johnny ok? should I be singing sandra's 'johnny wanna live' instead? hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jje Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Cody went down yesterday for a few hours. Because Cody provides the name servers for Stevie and Johnny, they went down too. The issue should be resolved now. I am unsure of what error you are getting - could you post a screenshot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janusdouble Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 I get the first when I try to open my Wordpress in Google Chrome. This when I try to open my webpage. And this when I try to open it with Explorer. Early this morning it worked for a bit, but now it's the same again. I forwarded the correct name servers in co.cc and it was working till now. Dunno maybe there's a problem with them? Since I'm flying solo on this, maybe it's something on my pc? Thanks for all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janusdouble Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 // ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** // /** The name of the database for WordPress */ define('DB_NAME', 'harnes8_wp65'); /** MySQL database username */ define('DB_USER', 'harnes8_wp65'); /** MySQL database password */ define('DB_PASSWORD', '51vb2PsvSx'); /** MySQL hostname */ define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */ define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); /** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */ define('DB_COLLATE', ''); this is what wp-config says. has something altered? I'm a newbie, I can't tell it loaded for me too when u said it did for you too, but now it's gone again hehe and in chrome it doesn't load at all. dunno, something's maybe wrong with my pc. my filezilla doesn't connect either, although I didn't mess with its set-up. thank you very much jje. u can shut this down now. file me under weird and unexplained (and totally clueless) hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
