Check ownership and permissions of files. Is this a shared hosting environment or VPS?

I'm checking permissions, It's shared.

 

[TPerry]

In that case, the owernship of the files (I'm pretty sure) need to be yourusername:nobody where it's owned by you (your username) and the group is nobody. That's pretty much the standard setup for them.

That error has nothing to do with files. Verify your database credentials.

That's a new one.. the SQL error that I've been used to seeing is something like

An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later.
<!-- Access denied for user 'xxx@'localhost' (using password: YES) -->

when looking at the source code. His site showed the permission denied. Is that (permission denied) an Apache specific error return?

it worked fine before, it just randomly stopped working. in the process of trying to fix this i accidently set all the files to 777 and messed it up. I have sumbitted a ticket, but i dont know which is faster if someone could help me that would be great.

I have responded to your ticket.

Random errors of this nature are typically server/host related.
