Hi. My website has stopped working. When I go to the URL or try to log into EE, I get this message:
A Database Error Occurred
Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings.
Filename: core/EE_Config.php
Line Number: 180I haven’t changed anything, but perhaps my hosting company has. Any ideas?

OK, it turns out that my hosting company has upgraded PHP to 5.3.5, which requires a different format for its SQL passwords. Fixed.
