Hi,
I am currently in the process for updating my moodle to 2.8.1and during the installation, I am having problems with the database settings and would appreciate any advice.
I receive the following error message:
Error: Database connection failed
It is possible that the database is overloaded or otherwise not running properly.
The site administrator should also check that the database details have been correctly specified in config.php
