Blog Vanished?

  • Apologies if this has already been raised but I can no longer seem to access my blog. I added an entry earlier today and someone was able to leave a comment (got it via email). When went to visit the blog later I got this message:
    =======================
    Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again.
    Are you sure you have the correct user/password?
    Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
    Are you sure that the database server is running?
    WordPress Support Forums
    ===========================
    My site is hosted by https://www.studentwebhosting.co.uk
    The rest of the site: https://www.beginsathome.com is working fine – just the blog is playing up
    I installed WordPress using Fantastico.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Your host has probably changed the location of your MySQL database, or MySQL is offline. Send a support email to them. Also, check wp-config.php again just to make sure that something didn’t change in there.

    You too, Kui.

    Shout a LOT at your host.
    If you had WP working, and now it won’t, and now they say you don’t have a database, and you paid for one, shout at them.
    If you have any emails from when you setup, use copies to prove what you had.
    If I were you, I’d be making a huge noise at them, while also sorting hosting elsewhere.
    How old was your blog ?

    Thanks for your advice.
    I shall go through all the emails from the host. WP was working fine one day and not the other. So I know I didn’t do anything.
    Are you saying this is their mess-up?
    My blog was relatively new – Sept 2004 but it was a day by day account of my volunteer experience in Belize. It was a big part of my life.
    I am currently going through googles cache and retrieving all I can but I am really sad about this whole thing.

    The same problem is happening with me…

    I’m scared, I want my blog back ?? !

    so, anybody can help me?
    My site is https://carola.brazil-uk.net

    everything looks fine inside my database… the wp-config.php is there and it looks ok.
    Why my blog disappeared? ??

    Carola – what is the url to your actual blog? Or where you are using WP ? The above url leads to .. a colourful place ??

    here … https://www.brazil-uk.net/blog

    Have you emailed your host ?
    Checked their support for any announcements ?
    Got a cpanel and tried to login ?

    no, nothing of that ??

    ok, can you help me? I don’t know even where to start ??
