Sorry! There seems to be a problem connecting to our database.

my website is http://www.katzkollection.co.uk if it helps.

Regards,

Re: Sorry! There seems to be a problem connecting to our database.

That happens when:

there's something wrong with the database and it's not available
your configure.php file settings for database details is wrong (either you edited the files wrong, or your database details/password have changed)

Hi Dr Byte!

I just came across this as well...problem is everything was working fine and I was simply populating some EZ Pages. No files were touched.

Any ideas why this would just happen on its own? I'm really concerned about the stability of this cart if this happens to my client.

Thanks so much!
