Does the problem occur for /wp-admin/ as well?

• You should check that you are getting the same
  error on both the front-end of the site, and the
  back-end of the site (wp-admin). If the error is
  same on both pages Error establishing a database
  connection. If you are getting a different
  error on the wp-admin, then you need to repair
  your database.

Checking the WP-Config file

• It is most important file in your entire
  WordPress installation. If you changed your root
  and database password, then you will need to
  change this file as well. Firstly you check that
  everything in your wp-config.php file is the
  same.
• Define ('DB_NAME', 'database-name')
• Define ('DB_USER', 'database-username')
• Define ('DB_PASSWORD', 'database-password')
• Define ('DB_HOST', 'localhost')
• Remember your DB_Host value might not always be
  localhost. It will be different.
• If everything in this file is correct (make sure
  you check for typos), then it is fair to say that
  there is something wrong on the server end.

Check your Web Host (MySQL Server)

• Your site will get really slow and for some users
  even output the error. So the best thing you
  should contact with your hosting provider and ask
  them if your MySQL server is responsive.
