I accidentally deleted MySQL user now I have a problem with the user password

Good morning everyone

I’m using Concrete5 V 8.5.5 and in the control panel of my hosting I just accidentally deleted the MySQL user for the DB Concrete5 uses.

Now I created the user again and assigned it to the DB. Unfortunately I had to set a new password, as I’ve lost the original one.

Is there a way I can update the password in the installation? I know with wordpress, there is a php file on the server storing the user name and the password for the MySQL user. It can be changed easily. Can this be done too for Concrete?

Your help is much appreciated.

Best,
Simon

You can edit /application/config/database.php to use the new database password.

John,

thanks a lot! Worked like a charm!

Best,
Simon
