User tests: Successful: Unsuccessful:
This tries to "mask" a long standing bad behavior of the Joomla! CMS when a database connection can not be established.
The root cause are some bad designed exception handlers and wrong return values.
The effect is the following unhelpful message on a blank screen:
Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error
The solution here is a very simple "fix" that only adds the first exception message to the final error output:
Example:
Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error: Could not connect to MySQL.
So, at least one might have a clue what's going on
Test instructions:
Change the database credentials in configuration.php to something invalid and reload the page.

BTW: I think that this will also provide an error message for #2604 - should be tested.
