It's a server issue. Your database was not accepting connections. You need to contact your host if the issue persists.

I kept getting that same message. I would call my hosting company, they would fix it then the next morning it would be down again. Same error message. After about 4 straight days of the same thing they apparently fixed it as my site has been up now for almost a week! I think it's a MySQL issue.
