''Connection Problems Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may
be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.''
I've got that message. The main Admin is away and I'm a novice.
I have a support ticket open at Lunarpages, and this has now been escalated to the next level of technical support, but no help yet. Similar messages when I try to get to the MySQL server. Messageboard down for three days now.
Anyone else currently getting this problem with LunarPages?
Open a support ticket with your host. Certainly not an SMF issue. If it was me I would move hosts.

Seeing that your board has been own for 3 days And it appears to be your providers issue). You may want to seek another provider.
There are plenty of quality providers in this section:

Yes, I'm certainly considering a new Host, but it's not my decision. The Man is away. Plus -- I don't know if there's an offline database backup.
You should request support of your hosting, If they do not give solution to the problem of connecting to MySQL it is better to look to another hosting.
