“Error establishing a database connection” means that there is a problem with the connection to your database and there could be a number of reasons for this. Try reviewing the following codex for possible reasons and solutions: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Common_WordPress_Errors#Error_Establishing_Database_Connection

Hey Tara, thanks!
I’m one step closer to completion.
I did the manual update (for the biggest part).
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update
My website is mostly back (with the exeption of some images).
No more “Error establishing a database connection” notifications.
But I still can’t acces the back-end (dashboard) of my wordpress page.
http://frankgras.com/wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade.php
It says: 404: page not found.
So I can’t finish my manual update yet.
Any tips?

Try renaming the .htaccess file to .htaccess_OLD to turn it
off.

Hey Tara,
Sorry, that didn’t do anything.
After some research (google) I added the following text to my wp-config file:
define('WP_HOME','http://frankgras.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://frankgras.com');
This was the solution for the remaining problems (missing images, broken dashboard and the possibility to update).
I thank you for your wonderfull help!
Especially because my programming teacher didn’t want to help me at all.
Greetings from the Netherlands. Topic resolved.
