The following files contain patches to the Drupal 5.7 core files
for the replacing of the 'DataBase not Found' and 'Incorrect Database
Connections' to Produce an error page with a Generic Message to the End Users
and which also contains a hidden div with the Detailed Error Message for the
Web Developer/Graphic Designer/ Internet Engineer working on the
Backend of the individual's Drupal Website.

Installation
------------
* I made the patch relative to the Drupal root directory, so just navigate to the Drupal directory (using cd) and issue the command:
'patch -p0 < drupal5_7db_error_handling.patch'

Drupal 6.x allows for the maintenance theme to be changed via settings.php and has improved database connection errors. The latter change may be backported to Drupal 5.x if anyone takes it on. Otherwise, this is either redundant or a project for the development version, currently Drupal 7.x.
