Your host may have changed your Database name, password, username or even the database hostname. Since you say they are now up, they may have also experienced some database problems, and may have lost your database. Just ask them for your MySQL info again, and then check to make sure that is the info you have in the config file for phpbb......

when mine went down, i had to change my config, as they renamed all my logins and whatnot. check with your host.

i am assuming that you are using lycos.co.uk, because i sometimes get that too. I have no idea why, it just happens sometimes.

the mysql host is down so no connection can be made.
