PingoMatic Help Please 911 !!

Hi there

I was going along quite well and using pingomatic quite well for both my blogs.

However last night while not on one of my blogs, on a clients site actually I hit the pingomatic button…needless to say that brought me to a page from wordpress saying it couldn’t connect to the database..

Problem

Now when I use pingomatic from my blogs I get the message below.

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?

If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

Since nothing has changed from earlier ping yesterday what do I need to do to get myself straight with Pingomatic ??

Thank you for your help

Clint
