I tried several solutions but nothing worked out!
Assuming the database is on the same server…
1) Check that your database is actually running.. ( sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start )

Ie: username = yourDBusername ( possibly “root”), password = yourDB password and host = localhost
Verify your DB my typing.
mysql -u root -pYOURPASSWORD
Then type “ Show databases;” ( Is your database listed? )
Type “exit” to quit.
/etc/init.d/mysql start worked for me, but is there any reason mysql would suddenly stop? Is there a log to check for this or something?
