    My site is currently down – when I try to open my blog I get this message: Error establishing a database connection. I also get this message when I try to access my admin page. Any ideas?

    I haven’t touched the wp-config.php file or anything else in months. I’m wondering if it’s because we haven’t upgraded in a while. How do you upgrade if you cannot access the admin page?

    No, I really haven’t done anything other than post. We do a backup every Thursday afternoon, but that’s something that’s never caused a problem before and I could access after the backup last night but not today.

    I’m having the same problem and haven’t touched my php file, either.

    I did, however, just install a plug in, S2Members, and was in the process of verifying some paypal info when my site froze and I got the error message.

    Not mine, bummer. Any ideas? I needed to upgrade, could that be the problem?

    No, probably not. If your database is properly connected and running fine, your old version should appear just fine. Either your wp-config.php file is bad, your host is having issues, or maybe a plugin or something has flaked.

    Did you do anything before the site went down?
