[Solved]: abc_copp1 user has been accidentaly deleted

[chris_m]

I have deleted my coppermine user accidentally. I have tried to add it manually but still see the same error when I am trying to reach my gallery
===
Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

MySQL said: Access denied for user: 'abc_copp1@localhost' to database 'abc_copp1'
===

I have checked the config.inc.php file under "include" directory. It contains the user 'abc_copp1'. I configured the same password as I saw in the file 'config.inc.php' but still see the same problem.

Is this password encrypted ? What else should be done ?

Regards,

Chris

Password is not encrypted. Don't use fantastico in the first place. Make sure the user has rights to the database - it's not enough just to make the user you need to 'link' it to the db. You can do this in cPanel or phpMyAdmin - ask your host if you can't see how.

Hello Nibbler,

Thanks for your support. It was my next step that I would like to do. But today when I tried to connect it worked "magically" again. It seems to be that my yesterday changes took time took time to be applied. Is there any mechanism that e.g. caches old password?

But nevertheless the problem has been resolved.

Not on Coppermine's side.
