Hello.
I recently re-installed Wordpress on my personal website back in January, and have kept it up-to-date ever since. The last time I updated was a little less than a week ago. Since then, it has been working just fine and in fact, as of earlier this afternoon, was loading correctly.
However, I just signed turned on my computer about ten minutes ago and now it will not load. I get a blank page titled "Database Error" that says "Error establishing a database connection" and after a refresh or two, it will intermittently swap between the Database Error page and my site's custom 404 page.
I tried logging in via the wp-login portion of the site (just in case there's a vital update I missed), but it just directs me to the error page, and I can't log in.
Again, I have not made ANY updates (or even so much as logged in) since the last time I saw it up and running, so I have no idea how it could just go from working one minute and not working the next.
Please help me. I have no idea what I'm looking at here, and haven't the slightest idea how to go about fixing it.
