    It means exactly what it says, osCmax is unable to connect to your database server. That means your database server is currently down or your configure.php files are not pointing to the correct database server.

    Cpanel has nothing to do with your database server. Lets not get distracted.

    Your site is unable to connect to the database server. That is the problem, plain and simple. You need to figure out why.

    So there were no changes to your configure.php files. Good. Ruled out one set of variables. Now you need to check to make sure your db server is actually where your configure.php files say it is.

    Then you need to test to see that the database is on the database server, and that the user/password are properly set up on the database server to match your configure.php.

    If you are unable to do basic admin tasks yourself, you would be better served contacting your host and asking them to make sure the database server is online and have them confirm its location to you.

    Then you should go into cpanel, delete the user you have made for that database and re-create it with the password that is found in your configure.php files.
