At this point I would go through your logs and find the specific error message it’s generating.

Have you verified that your hostname is correct? That’s the address to your MySQL database. If you’re certain that the username and password are correct then your hostname is probably what’s giving you a problem. If this is a local install use localhost, otherwise I would consult your hosting provider.

Basically CHabte just replaced his wordpress core files.
Here’s what I would do:
1) VERY IMPORTANT – create a backup of all files and the database.
2) Delete all files and folders except for the folder wp-content. You will need this folder. It contains all the files for your theme and plugin.
3) Replace all the wordpress files in the install download EXCEPT for wp-content.
4) Update wp-config.php with your database credentials. They can be retrieved in your current wp-config.php.
4) Test your website. If all seems well login into your admin panel and see if the database needs updated.

I hope this helps.

I went to compassionateglobalefforts.org and the connection was reset. Generally speaking that means that there is a server configuration issue. Have you contacted your host?
