Did you change anything in your vB installation shortly before this occured?

Can you access you MySQL Server by other means (phpmyadmin,...)?

Are all the values in your includes/config.php set and correct?

[wreck]

well i went to bed last night, everything was workin fine, i just got out of bed now, and now its like this, so wether someone else has done anything or not i have no idea

[wreck]

nevermind... its working now

[wreck]

its doing it again now

i think its the host because there nothing wrong in any of the files

[Colin F]

See if you can access the mysql database through another means (phpmyadmin for example)

If not, the database server has a problem, so only your host can help you...
