    I have a problem with my site http://www.articlerock.com. I tried to install wordpress mu but it brought up a message database error failed to connect.
    what can I do to correct the problem or do I have to reinstall it?
    thanks for your help.

    You have to put the right database names & usernames when you install. maybe you forgot your server account anme in front?

    Like webaccountusername_databsename.

    If the installation wasn't finished, then the best way is to reinstall it ...

    oh yeah, reinstall goinggreat :)

    make sure the wp-config.php file has the correct database info. that error really looks like a DB issue though.
