How to handle database stopped

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

I have this application and about to release to the public. The only thing left to do is handle the database stopped and down. If I to turned of the debugging, I get the CDbException on the screen with the following text “CDbConnection failed to open the DB connection.” I have following the instruction given here http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php/topic/31268-handle-stopped-database/page__p__150720__hl__cdbexception#entry150720 but it doesn’t work at all for me

Thanks

try {

	Yii::app()->run();

} catch (Exception $e) {

	require('error.php');

}

Can we render a view instead of error.php?
