I want to install some WP sites, but I can't start the installer because, WP is unable to connect to DB although username and pwd are correct. so I opened tester1.example.com/phpmyadmin and tested user/pwd.. and I also couldn't log in instead getting this error: mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) I did some reading... and ran across this as a possible fix. Code: UPDATE user SET plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User ='root'; So I logged into phpmyadmin as root.. selected the db and ran this the above code as a query...but no luck How can I fix this?
in mysql.user table, you see the site user created? and that database exists? If not, enable server debugging level to see what happens (eg. delete the database and add it again).
If this would have been an issue, then you could not even have installed ISPConfig on this system as no root logins using a password would have been possible from the beginning. Back to the original issue, run the command: ls /var/lib/mysql/ does the output show a folder with the name of the database that you created? And does the file /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/mysql_clientdb.conf contains the correct MySQL root password?
Did you enable chroot mode in php-fpm on the options tab of the site? If yes, try to disable it, wait until changes are written to disk and test again.
Quick note: If I manually create the wp-config.php file... I can install no problem... but via the WP install gui.. the same information can not connect to the DB.
Did you do that as root user? What are owners and permissions for the web directory? Is suexed enabled in website settings?
Impossible. I had to ssh into the directory with a shell-user for the domain.

Ok... I just tried @Jesse Norell recommendation from post #4.... turned on debug... then deleted both db user and the actually db and re-created them. Went back to the gui to test.. same problem. Which parts of the logs do you need?
With debugging enabled, run server.sh manually to run those changes (ie. you'll need to recreate them), and post the output from that.
Ok.. checked the manual... I commented out: Code: #* * * * * /usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.sh 2>&1 | while read line; do echo `/bin/date` "$line" >> /var/log/ispconfig/cron.log; done and ran: Code: /usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.sh Output: Code: # /usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.sh finished server.php.
Ok specific steps... again. And I check the sysem-log multiple times during this... Nothing.. no errors, warnings, nothing :-/
Follow the instructions from https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/please-read-before-posting.58408/ the part "ISPConfig is not writing changes to disk".
Thx... I read it.. but I have done all the steps the instructions contain.. at this point at least twice.
