Hi,<br><br>Try one of the following:<br>* Are you editing the right settings.php file (for that particular site)<br>* make sure that you have access to write/edit/modify the settings.php file (chmod it 744 for while editing)-Drupal automatically changes back the perms to default on each page refresh.<br>* check that you are using the right format for the databse variable in settings.php (no spaces for the password after colon)<br>*are you typing th epassword correctly?<br><br>You may just want to rerun the install script and enter your database values throught the front end.<br><br>Hope this helps.<br><br>Kind regards,<br>Ayath ULLAH<br><br><br><br><br>> Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2011 18:03:01 -0500<br>> To: support@drupal.org<br>> From: mlandman@face2interface.com<br>> Subject: [support] db password change<br>> <br>> I just tried changing the mysql user password for a live site. <br>> Changed the user's pw using cpanel and then on the settings.php file. <br>> The site reported back that it was offline even after several <br>> refreshes.
