---- PHPBB2, Database Password


silk - 5:56 am on Oct 5, 2004 (gmt 0)


Whew. Ok. I administer 2 phpbb boards. Now i went thru the config file and changed the user and password, but i get a critical error: "could not connect to database".

Ok, i went thru the phpMyAdmin2.5.6 and cannot find anywhere to change the username and password in mysql.

Granted, there is a frontend, a database manager,where i can add users and set their roles. I did use a user from there in the config file, but it still doesn't work. So how do i get to use another user.

BTW, it was the "database administrator" user that connects to the database. I'm trying to set it to a RW user.

Thanks again in advance.
