Here is the error message i get when I try to log into an existing freepbx:

"FATAL ERROR

DB Error: connect failed

Trace Back

/var/www/html/admin/libraries/db_connect.php:71 die_freepbx()
[0]: DB Error: connect failed

/var/www/html/admin/bootstrap.php:85 require_once()

[0]: /var/www/html/admin/bootstrap.php

/var/www/html/admin/config.php:99 include_once()

Is this recoverable?
