Database issue

[linkadrip]

Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL

The site worked fine a week ago and my database was fine i did a check of the database shows its there. Did the repair database and everything said OK. looking at the database reads 0 mb's do i have to redo the site or can this be fixed on the server side.?

Other wise i have to reload joomla and redo the site understand its free but come on i dont want to have to fix it everytime there is a server upgrade. I did nothing to cause this problem..

www.tehachapircflyer.com please check my data base and let me know if i have to reload joomla and start over.

thank you.

Make sure that in configuration.php in main Joomla directory:

	var $dbtype = 'mysql';
	var $host = 'localhost';

mine reads

var $dbtype = 'mysql';
var $host = 'mysql-chopin.x10hosting.com';

So i guess that would mean i need to change it to local host in the bottom line?
