– “Error establishing a database connection” means that there is a problem with the connection to your database
– a problem with the credentials stored in the wp-config.php file not matching what mysql expects.
– Try reviewing the following codex for some guidance: http://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_Errors#Error_Establishing_Database_Connection
I have not yet made any changes to wp-config.php, but I realized that I now try to access the webs I mentioned, and the page now goes blank, and it does not even give me the error message, you who believe about it ? Is it due to the same database problem or worse?

Blank white page: A blank page means that PHP is crashing, typically due to a function conflict introduced by a plugin or theme. This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
(1) Bad theme
(2) Bad plugin
(3) Bad install/upgrade
(4) you exhausted the memory limit
(5) It could also mean that there is an issue with your web hosting server.
– 1 and 2 are more common.
– Since the problem can be caused by any number of things, check the error logs on your server for a more specific error message. If you need help locating them, ask your hosting provider to help you with that.
– If you cannot find error logs or if you don’t find any helpful info in them, try adding the following code to your wp-config.php directly above /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ : define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true);

Same issue here, my host says one or more core files needs to be reset.
Is this a lovely feature of wordpress to insure that I get “hands on” with my site?
It was up and running- no problems! Help please.
