it means it can't connect to the database... check your config file to make sure you put in the correct database name, password, username, and the location (usually "localhost").

Everything is correct but the problem is still there. Is it possible that the site was hacked?

make sure the database name is correct... and if you're still having a problem try and create a user for that mysql in phpmyadmin and then update the config username and password to the updated info... regards...
