Error establishing a database connection

Error Message

([ Error establishing a database connection ])

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or that contact with the database server at sql200.byetcluster.com could not be established. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

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

I went there and inserted the right information, but still wasn’t able to access the website, so I decided to uninstall the website, I think I made a mistake because I did that on the file manager. Now I installed WordPress again but I can install any plugins.

why do you think this is happening ?

Your website seems to be working fine for me, and I assume you are asking about why you can’t install any WP plugins, right?

How to upload big files / archives

InfinityFree has a file size limit of 10 MB on all servers. You cannot upload files larger than 10 MB. Installing large scripts A particular software package may be larger than 10 MB in size. Because of this limit, you cannot upload the archive directly and have it extracted on the server. However, you can easily upload the contents manually. To do so, you will first need a good FTP file manager for your desktop and setup an FTP connection. See the how to upload files with FTP article for more…

[EDSON14]

Yes that’s what i’m saying. can you help me solve that issue?

[Herbert]

If you are trying to upload larger files via FileManager you can’t. You should use an FTP client like FileZilla.

Your issue is cause by a temporary outage and misconfiguration on ALL the infinityfree hosted wordpress. Same as Other people including myself claiming eror “Missing a temporary folder”. Don’t try workarounds and wait for the admins to fix that problem.

@SoftHub

There are no indications that database connections errors have anything to do with the missing file path errors. They are also two entirely separate problems, and I would be a tad suprized if they are related.

@Greenreader9 He said he reinstalled the CMS and is now working fine, except he can’t install plugins that’s the exact same problem all wordpress on IF are currently having.
BTW the database error usually comes here on IF where you abusing the database with multiple queries in a short time. A refresh couple seconds after usually fixes

[EDSON14]

I will wait and see if the problem is solved. the bad thing is that I’m gonna do all the stuff again.

[SoftHub]

Once in a while do a database backup in phpmyadmin. If shit happens, do a fresh install, manually install the plugins/themes and drop in the old db.

[EDSON14]

Thanks for the advice, I’ll do that. Any updates on those errors? I need my website built ASAP.

[EDSON14]

After installing WordPress again and the plugins I had the same problem saying,

Error establishing a database connection

I think my problem is that since I’m using a free web hosting service, I could be low in storage, so maybe the solution is to use Ifast and upgrade. I’m trying to make some things on my website and it will go down and show the database connection error, and after a few seconds, it will go up again.
