 * Hi,
 * I’ve been getting multiple 404 Database connection errors for the past few days
   while accessing the website or admin. If I’m lucky, it sometimes opens and I 
   cleared the site’s cache and saved permalinks. I tried many things but nothing
   seemed to work. The error keeps repeating. Please help me in this!

 * An Error 404 and an error in the database connection are 2 different things. 
   What is the exact error message you see in such cases? Have you already contacted
   the support of your hoster?

 * If your WordPress dashboard working then try to deactivate all the plugins. If
   this not work then contact with your hosting provider.
