My site fails to load and shows the following message:
This site is temporarily unavailable.
Please notify the System Administrator
3
What might this mean?
Answer:
The
number following the message indicates a database problem. The error
number is generated by joomla! and error numbers 1, 2 and 3 indicate
the following:
Error 1 = FATAL ERROR: MySQL support not available.
Error 2 = FATAL ERROR: Connection to database server failed.
Error 3 = FATAL ERROR: Database not found
my view in plain speak would be:
error 1
Joomla!
attempts to talk with mysql on the server and fails to even talk to it
- this might be because the server does not have mysql installed at all
or maybe it is not configured correctly
technically: function_exists( 'mysql_connect' ) FAILS
error 2
sql
is installed but for some reason we cannot login to mysql (this is
where it tries the host, username, password stuff) - may indicate that
these details are wrong in your config
technically: $this->_resource = @mysql_connect( $host, $user, $pass ) FAILS
error 3
I think this is that it passed 1 and 2 so you can connect to mysql but not select the specific database
technically: mysql_select_db($db) FAILS
Up until 1.0.12, the offline message used to only have codes 1 through 3. In 1.0.12, those codes were replaced with text as defined in english.php.
Code:define( '_SYSERR1', 'The database adapter is not available' );
define( '_SYSERR2', 'Could not connect to the database server' );
define( '_SYSERR3', 'Could not connect to the database' );
One through three are still equivalent to the former numeric code system which translated to

Error 1 = FATAL ERROR: MySQL support not available.
Error 2 = FATAL ERROR: Connection to database server failed.
Error 3 = FATAL ERROR: Database not found
