Error establishing a database connection

If all your blogs with Dreamhost are down, it’s more likely that they have a database problem.

Wait for their reply.

They were all fine last night and I didn’t change anything in between.

If you have 3 sites on the same service and they all use the same address for the database connections, and all three sites failed simultaneously with the same “Error establishing a database connection” message with no changes being made to files on any of them, then that’s the type of evidence that might suggest that WordPress isn’t likely to be the issue.

we can’t contact the database server at mysql.eat-the-evidence.com. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

This seems likely. It’s the first thing that should be verified or ruled out with your host before starting any other troubleshooting, just to be safe.

Ah, okay, thanks. I’m truly clueless about the server side of things with this stuff.

Hopefully they get it fixed soon…thanks.

When I try to login to the MySQL thing it says:

#2013 – Lost connection to MySQL server at ‘reading initial communication packet’, system error: 111

So I think their server is being screwy.

Thanks though…

Ah, Dreamhost has now sent out a whoopsie email to everyone on the server that went thud. So I’ll mark this as resolved since it’s their problem.

Thanks to all who tried to help!

It can be frustrating having to wait on an issue that’s completely out of your control like that. Glad they got it fixed!

What exactly is the problem? It seems some others also had the same problem.
