I have 3 active blogs on addon domains. The parent domain is
http://www.mistywindow.com/2 blogs are OK, but the one at the add-on domain
http://mywitsend.co.nz gives this error when opening in a browser:
"Error establishing a database connection"
1. I had not made any changes to this blog (or anything else) since the last successful logon in a browser. It therefore seems likely that there's been a glitch at the server end.
2. I have run a database repair but it didn't fix the problem.
3. Bluehost gave this reply:
"We apologize for the trouble you've been having, there was a bump in the msql service all should be working now however"
4. I advised them that it hadn't fixed the problem and they ignored my plaintive cries for several days.
Eventually they suggested that I:
"logon and change the theme to default then back and everything should work."
5. If I login here:
http://mywitsend.co.nz/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fwp-admin%2F Logging on appears to work, but I can't actually go anywhere from the logon. I get a "back to mistywindow" link which goes to a blank page.
:o(
I've tried going directly to various PHP pages after logging on. No joy.
If any Expert wishes to logon to my Control Panel or the blog I'll send logon details off-list.
I have a current backup of the whole site. Unfortunately, it's supposed to be a 150MB compressed file but it's only half that size and won't extract.
Bugger.
Can someone help? Or do I need to bite the bullet and get on with my life?
