Rather than to the emergency fix-Wikipedia address, please send correspondance about the software internals to the developers' list at wikitech-l@wikipedia.org. (CC'd)

Also, if running a public server, please change the error message in DatabaseFunctions.php to list an appropriate contact address. We won't be very happy to get a dozen worried e-mails from random people that _your_ site is down, and it won't help inform you. :)

Is mysql set up correctly? Did you use the right password? Is the user set up with appropriate access with the database? Is it named correctly? Did you use maintnenance/wikiuser.sql with appropriate local changes to configure the user for access to the database?
