My Wordpress site has gone down and will not reboot. The error is:
Error establishing a database connection
I've tried restarting from the console and UI, but no luck. I have a swap as well.
This isn't the first time this has happened either, although it happened after a long time...
Any permanent solutions to this recurring and annoying problem???
