Berkshire Record Outlet: What gives?

[Russ (not Martha)]

Anyone try the Berkshire Record Outlet search buttons lately?

Catalogs New Releases Featured Restocks

. . . all fail, with a popup:

No such file or directory

Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or that contact with the database server at localhost could not be established. This could mean your host’s database server is down. [end]

Let’s hope that Broinc isn’t going to disappear for months like Arkivmusic, and then come back so dumbed-down as to be next to useless.

They seem to have screwed up some scipts - lots of extraneous verbiage.
Catalog actually works (sarch doesn't). It was fine a day earlier.

I have informed Joe Eckstein (owner of BRO) of the problem. His programmer (perhaps I should say app developer) is, shall we say, a bit less than professional. I suspect he was tinkering with the program (app?) and broke it. What else could it be? Some limit exceeded, I suppose. I expect it to be fixed soon.

I imagine it will be corrected soon. A bad script or some problem with WordPress.

Different errors now. Looks like they're offline while under repair. Should have been making mods in a test environment in the first place, not on the production app. Amateurish.

Back up. Per the site:
