WordPress的网站数据库连接错误

Question

I came over this serious problem. My WordPress website was running all right. suddenly It showed the page of WordPress installation. so, I quickly registered a user and so on. Then it showed "db connection error". I went to my server and tried to log into my phpmyadmin but the password didn't work. This kept happening for 5 mins. then thing worked normal again.

1- is this a hacker attack? 2- how do I prevent the page of WP installation from showing up if the db connection goes down again? because this is a desaster

• how do I prevent wp-admin from showing the name of my db in the db connection error ? Better preventing any error report from my website when anything is down?

thanks

Answer 1

Nobody can tell you whether it was hacker related without a lot more information. There should be logs on the machine hosting your site--I would check them first to see if you can tell if the database went down and why. If you don't admin your own site you can ask your hosting provider what the problem was--they may have been rebooting a database machine, for example.

I would also do a full backup of your site and database in case there is any hardware trouble you don't know about.

In the meantime, if you administer the site yourself, take a look at advice for hardening Wordpress: http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress
