The problem was solved by a friend. Thank you very much for all your help!

Why the upgrade of WP3 is causing too much troubles to too many people? I’ve read several complaints (“requests of help”) like mine. I’ve been using WP for a long time and in several web sites, and I never had this kind of problems. The automatic upgrade always worked flawlessly.

I think that I’ve lost all my web site!

I’ve tried everything:

1) Backing up my databases and whole site
2) Uploading the files of WP3 and overwriting over old files
3) Didn’t work, so I reversed everything, copying the old files again over the new files… and didn’t work.
4) Starting from CERO, installing a fresh copy of WP in anohter directory and is not working (tried using the old database and a new one, but din’t work)!

Error establishing a database connection
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 localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?

I’m willing to pay a reasonable fee to someone who can help me with this issue.

I followed last suggestion and now Im worst than ever, I can’t see my site anymore!

dandik, did those steps caused your site to be started from cero? I mean, did you loose everything (files, posts, etc.) or everything went back as it was before the crash?

Thanks esmi, I’m in the process of backing up the entire site.

Just to be sure, the order in which I should proceed is the following?

1st step: Backup your database
2nd step: Deactivate all plugins
3rd step: Switch to the default theme
4th step: Manually uploading (ftp) and overwriting all the files

Am I right?

How can I deactivate all plugins and switch to the default theme if I do not have access to the dashboard?

Thanks in advance Esmi.

Ipstenu, does that mean manually uploading (ftp) and overwriting all the files? Any other prior steps or things that we should have in mind to avoid having a worst result?

My site is working fine, but I can not edit it, since I have no access to the Dashboard anymore.

OK, I don’t understand… now I’m seeing my site again!!! Have no idea of what happened!!!

BUT, when I try to access the dashboard, I get the following error:
