 * > Error connecting to your database
 * You are getting this error because WP is unable to establish a database connection.
   Reason why WP is unable to establish a database connection can vary. It could
   be that your database login credentials are wrong or have been changed. It could
   be that your database server is unresponsive. It could be that your database 
   has been corrupted. Also, there could be other factors as well.
    To troubleshooting
   this problem: – double check your [wp-config.php file settings ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php)
   for the database name, database username and database password, and the host 
   name (e.g., “localhost” Vs. something else). This is where most errors occur.–
   Then make sure wp-config.php is in right location. – Then check that you don’t
   need to change the database host from “localhost” to something else. You can 
   get that info from your hosting provider. – Check you have actually created a
   database with the same database name as is in your wp-config.php file. – Last,
   but not least, if all that information is correct your database probably has 
   a problem with it. Contact your hosting provider if the database server is offline(
   if the problem suddenly happened), or if they have any other problem at their
   end, or they made any changes to your account, or if there are any limitations/
   restrictions, or if the hosting package is set to Windows and not Linux, etc.–
