I used Fantastico to setup Zenphoto a while back and it was working perfectly. But just the other day the main gallery page stopped. Now it displays this:

Zenphoto Error
MySQL Error: Zenphoto could not connect to the database server.Check your zp-config.php file for the correct host, user name, and password.Note that you may need to change the host from localhost if your web server uses a separate MySQL server, which is common in large shared hosting environments like Dreamhost and GoDaddy.Also make sure the server is running, if you control it.

I can login to the zenphoto gallery just fine and i see all the photos there. I haven't changed anything recently and am at a loss as to how i can get it up and running again.

Thanks in advance-

At the surface, it sounds like the MySQL server went south. Login to your CPanel and with phpmyadmin, try to access your database (don't change anything unless you know what you're doing). If you don't see your database, you will need to contact Customer Care at HostMonster for resolution.

I logged in and the DB is there. I went in and it has all of its tables (or what I presume to be all of its tables).

As I was writing that last sentence I went to my site /gallery and everything is working! Perhaps Hostmonster was doing maintenance on their SQL server or something. Anyhow, it all works!
