error accessing admin - can't connect to database

[nat8100]

I get this error when trying to access /admin. It's not all the time though

 

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: '[email protected]' (Using password: YES) in /homepages/4/d75936541/htdocs/products/catalog/admin/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

Unable to connect to database server!

 

Any suggestions?

If this is only an occasional problem then there could be a variety of causes:

 

1. If your server uses the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system then the db_server name is not 'localhost' but is '127.0.0.1'. For 90% of the time 'localhost' will work, but for the other 10% of the time it will fail.

2. The server could be overloaded.

3. The server may not be set up correctly.

4. You may have set use_pconnect to true in your configure.php files and this can cause problems.
