if you look at wp-includes\/functions.php, line 2710, there’s a dead_db function<\/p>\n
\n\nfunction dead_db() {\nglobal $wpdb;\n\n\/\/ Load custom DB error template, if present.\nif ( file_exists( WP_CONTENT_DIR . '\/db-error.php' ) ) {\nrequire_once( WP_CONTENT_DIR . '\/db-error.php' );\ndie();\n}\n\n\/\/ If installing or in the admin, provide the verbose message.\nif ( defined('WP_INSTALLING') || defined('WP_ADMIN') )\nwp_die($wpdb->error);\n\n\/\/ Otherwise, be terse.\nstatus_header( 500 );\nnocache_headers();\nheader( 'Content-Type: text\/html; charset=utf-8' );\n\nwp_load_translations_early();\n?>\n<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html xmlns="http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml"<?php if ( is_rtl() ) echo ' dir="rtl"'; ?>>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text\/html; charset=utf-8" \/>\n<title><?php _e( 'Database Error' ); ?><\/title>\n\n<\/head>\n<body>\n<h1><?php _e( 'Error establishing a database connection' ); ?><\/h1>\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n<?php\ndie();\n}\n\n<\/pre>\nthere it is, you can have a db error template for that ugly message.
