Access error to the journal portal. Error: Database connection failed!

Error is telling you that something happens with the DB so I’m almost sure is not an OJS issue.

It could be a credentials missconfiguration (check the db host/user/pwd with your technical service and confirm are the same you got in config.inc.php) or the DB engine (confirm the engine is up and running).

You have plenty of messages in the forum explaining how to deal with this:
