Database connection error

Hello, I get this error at my joomla website. Database and password are correct. It was working before but now I get this error.

Would suggest you contact your host - this is not a Joomla error, at this point.

It doesn't look like it's getting as far as authenticating a user (all that stuff usually happens in the background); if it was a problem with authentication I think I would expect to see some more detail in this error, such as "cannot connect to MySQL with user something_something@server_name." (or similar).

You say "database and password are correct". What about the username for the database....? (not mentioned in your question...).

You could try (1) specifying a new password for the database user in cPanel (then update configuration.php) or (2) create a new user altogether and add it to the db, then update the configuration file with all the new details.

What was the last action you were doing in the system before this error started occurring?
