RM.com - down?

[BethB]

Anyone else have a problem logging onto RM.com?

This is the message I have and have left a message for Karen:
Unable to connect to database server

If you still have to install Drupal, proceed to the installation page.
If you have already finished installed Drupal, this either means that the username and password information in your settings.php file is incorrect or that we can't connect to the MySQL database server. This could mean your hosting provider's database server is down.
The MySQL error was: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2).
Currently, the username is <> and the database server is localhost.

• Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
• Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
• Are you sure that the database server is running?

For more help, see the Installation and upgrading handbook. If you are unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your hosting provider.

Looks like it's back now.

Thanks I just checked again.

That was a weird error, Matthew since you're a techie...why did it say the username is <> ??

That is the username to connect to the database for rm.com. I am taking it out of the posts here. The password is not listed, but no need to give hackers the username for the rm.com database.

Well, I just tried it and I'm not locked out...

According to the short message posted there, it looks a goof up with the change in ownership of her server?

Glad it's back, hope Karen gets her explanation too.

[BethB]

Well it's down again this a.m.!

[BethB]

Never mind...it's back....strange.
