Error retrieving site settings/Error Establishing Database connection
-
My site seems to be down. I was on yesterday but now I don’t know what’s going on. Can’t log in through http://www.justonlyhome.come/wp-admin. I get the ‘Error Establishing Database Connection’ page. My site still shows up here but it says there’s an ‘error retrieving site settings’ when I try to figure out what is going on.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There was an error while performing this request
mysqladmin: connect to server at ‘localhost’ failed error: ‘Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2)’ Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ exists! -
It looks like your above site isn’t hosted here on WordPressdotcom, so we won’t be able to help you with this.
Help for self-hosted sites using the standalone WP software can be found over at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page and at https://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums, you can register one on that page.
Standalone WP and WordPressdotcom (where we are) are different entities; more information about the differences can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
Best wishes

That’s weird because when I couldn’t log in to my site and pressed “help” this is where it sent my question :/ Thanks for your response. Maybe I can find a phone number or something.
