 * Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection
   information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try 
   again.
    Are you sure you have the correct user/password? Are you sure that you
   have typed the correct hostname? Are you sure that the database server is running?…
   and it’s been running on me for over a few weeks now. is this simply a down time
   in my server?

 * if u have not changed anything.
    if someone has not hacked and changed anything.
   its most likely sql downtime on the server.
