Re: [multimedia_nj] mySQL Password Update

Hi,

After you change your MySQL users password for the database in your hosting control panel (or phpMyAdmin), then you change the users password in the settings.dat.php file.

With some hosts, there may be a brief delay after changing a the password while the system updates.

Is this the steps you went through?

Yes, this is what we did, although our IT department changed the password directly on the server. We did try restarting, but that didn't do the trick.

Thanks for confirming that it's just the settings.dat.php file that needs to be updated Ð sounds like something went wrong on the server end.

In case anyone else runs into a similar issue, we hadn't flushed the privileges correctly in MySQL, so the problem was on the server end.
