I am trying to access my admin.php file so I can go in and do some changes on my site and I get this error message:
This page cannot be displayed due to an internal error.

If you are the administrator of this site, please visit the XOOPS Troubleshooting Page for assistance.

Error [Xoops]: Unable to connect to database in file class/database/databasefactory.php line 34

I tried the link and nothing. I really don't know what happened since I haven't really access this site in awhile I can't imagine what has changed or how I can begin to fix it. It is a site I use for shcool which is starting on Wednesday so I need it asap. Anyone that can offer me any assistance which be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi

you have an old version of xoops?
“Xoops Troubleshooting Page” sends to the Link of wikiWaka

- It reviews the connection to the data base
- Please, update a XOOPS 2.0.14.

I would advise a backup (data and site) and an update to a more recent version. Versions before 2.0.13.2 are at risk from a number of security problems.

As far as i can see it this happens all the time not only with admin.php right?

Can you access your database with phpmyadmin at this moment?

Check with your host if the db server is down.
