FatCow: Error Establishing a Database Connection

  • I am getting really fed up with this problem.

    Basically, I signed up with FatCow..did a simple WordPress through their Option menu, and I often recieve the error: “Error establishing a database connection” when trying to access the site.

    Does anybody know what could be causing this? I have deleted the database several times and reinstalled…

    Is your wp-config.php file correctly configured to use the database? You may need to ask FatCow for help, since I don’t know if anyone here is familiar with their setup.

    Hi,

    Check with these options:

    – Username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Please check with PHPMyAdmin and correct it or reset it. Also make necessary changes in wp-config.php file.

    – Make sure that you have typed correct host name in wp-config.php file.

    – Your hosting service provider’s database server is down. Hence, take a support from your hosting service provider.

    Thanks,

    Shane G.
