mysql problem

[bryogus]

hi there sorry to bother you, this morning i tried to get to my site and i couldn't. i recieved this message.
"Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL" i get this message when going to my url http://www.linkmarket.co.cc and when i try to log in as admin (using joomla so http://www.linkmarket.co.cc/administrator

if i log into control panel and view error logs i get
"[Tue Jan 19 09:46:51 2010] [error] [client 86.20.160.134] File does not exist: /home/bryogus/public_html/favicon.ico"
From what i can tell its part of the joomla template file thats missing but this has happened since the server changes. do i need to do a complete reinstall?

thank you for your time

Hello, what is the MySQL host you are using in the config file?

 

[bryogus]

tried to change config to localhost:
var $host = 'mysql-@localhost'; is this format correct? because it hasn't had any effect


var $host ='localhost';
that worked thank you ladyanna

try: var $host ='localhost';

That should do the trick.
