I got on the site by clicking a link in my e-mail to a PM. If I try to access PianoWorld via the URL of PianoWorld I get "Database Error". Message; "Error establishing a database connection".

Is there a glitch in the system, as happens time to time, or is it just me?

PW has worked just fine all day, so it seems to be just you...


Playing the piano is learning to create, playfully and deeply seriously, our own music in the world.

I'm getting the same error message. If I go straight to the forums, there's no issue, but if I go to pianoworld.com I receive that message.

Thanks for posting this folks, I've notified our hosting IT guy.
The forums (forum.pianoworld.com) and Piano World itself (PianoWorld.com) are on different servers.

PW is on the WordPress platform, must be an issue there.
