Hello,
I have a joomla site which was running on a remote server. So I tried creating a new database for another installation but did not go ahead with the installation, so I deleted the database. Now my site cannot open, it says Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL...Can someone tell me how to go about this problem, am freaking out!!! Someone help me...

I think that you accidentally deleted the database used by your live site, not the one you created for the new installation. Do you have a backup of the site so that you can restore from it?
