Database problem

  • Hello, I’m editor of https://www.liban4sports.com
    We were working on the website and publishing news, and suddenly it stopped and put this phrase: Error establishing a database connection

    As well, while opening my wp-admin, I get:

    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at lib1236103352767.db.10222692.hostedresource.com. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

    What should we do? our site is well-known in Lebanon, and it publishes sports news, and it’s been 3 hours it’s down. How can we fix it please?

  • Is the server name correct in your wp-config.php file? I can’t resolve lib1236103352767.db.10222692.hostedresource.com to an IP address, if it’s dropped from DNS for some reason that might explain it.

    Can you check with GoDaddy to see if they are having problems with your hosted MySql server?

    I had 2 databases before, one of them was damaged, deleted then couldn’t be restored. I want to have one database containing the same plugins and themes, although they are still found on the remaining database

    i thinks your hosting is not good ….

    contact your Hosting

    Check your wp-config.php file if you have the correct database name, username, password and MySQL hostname.

    still nothing.. nothing changed..

    What do you have for hostname in your wp-config.php?

    I am still getting ‘error establishing database connection’ that is usually associated with incorrect database name, username, password and MySQL hostname. So, please check again.

    I will see, we are trying our best to resolve it :/

    Still sounds like an issue with the DB server to me.

    sg2nlhg268c1268.shr.prod.sin2.secureserver.net is what your hostname (www.liban4sports.com) resolves to in DNS.

    lib1236103352767.db.10222692.hostedresource.com does not resolve in DNS, according to the /wp-admin/ page, that’s where the database lives.

    Do you know the IP address of the DB server? You could try using that instead of the gnarly hostname you’re using. If it’s a temporary DNS issue it may resolve the problem.

    Aside from that, I would really recommend contacting your hosting provider and have them check to see if the referenced database server is up, and in DNS.

    guys, I have seen the database on our hosting. It’s different from the one WordPress wants me to deal with, so I entered a new database:
    lib1236103352767

    But I hve the same problem.. what should i do?

    Hey,

    DNS lookup utility reads:

    host lib1236103352767.db.10222692.hostedresource.com
lib1236103352767.db.10222692.hostedresource.com is an alias for lib1236103352767.db.10222692.043.hostedresource.net.
lib1236103352767.db.10222692.043.hostedresource.net has address 203.124.112.38

    That IP 203.124.112.38 belongs to GoDaddy.

    In other words, try to put the database server as

    lib1236103352767.db.10222692.043.hostedresource.net

    I just noticed it changed (just like it was yesterday when @jgs was saying):

    does not resolve in DNS,

    host lib1236103165925.db.10222692.hostedresource.com
lib1236103165925.db.10222692.hostedresource.com has address 199.101.28.20
Host lib1236103165925.db.10222692.hostedresource.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

    You definitely need to call GoDaddy Customer Support and beat them up until they solve it.
