I just tried (with a Chrome browser, running under 

Windows XP Pro -- "with" Service Pack 3) 

[Chrome version = 0.2.149.30]

and it worked OK.      ...could it be that maybe something has been fixed recently  on the server end?     ...or maybe the browser version or OR made a diff? I think browsers do self-identify, to allow servers "if appropriate" to  tweak what they do (probably mainly to work around browser bugs!)...     HTH --  Mike Schwartz     Glendale  AZ  schwartz@acm.org

Here's what we get:

Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at db.linux-mag.com. This could mean your host's database server is down.

• Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
• Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
• Are you sure that the database server is running?

If you're unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

Yes, I get the "Days of Our Lives" wait also.  The site is broken, probably from an Apache, Akamai or Load Balancer issue.
