Website is using WordPress with MySQL
Error Message
Error establishing a database connection.
Went to the control panel, and saw that there were 0/XYZ databases, even though I had one for about 5 months.
Other Information
It was most likely not a SQL injection attack, because the WordPress version was the latest.
There was recently an outage with the database servers. They’re back up now, but I think it may be possible that this is related to that incident.
I was also having the same issue with my blog (which I remind you I don’t touch that much), which I didn’t resolve by changing username and password on my configuration file, but I got it working by changing my hosting account password as well to try and force the system to fix the permissions! If it doesn’t work on your end try it as well:
Though the wait isn’t necessary, it’s still good measure to make sure your WordPress websites will work again. Also, make sure to update all your wp-config…
