I spent about an hour looking for this answer and I might have just been searching for the wrong thing, but I changed my root password for MySQL in ISPConfig3 and now I can't create new databases using the CP. In ispconfig.log I am getting ERROR - Unable to connect to the database, leading me to believe that there is a config file that just needs a password updated, but I cant seem to find it. I have looked in the /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/lib folder but I didn't see anything in the config.inc.php file. The only file that had a "root" user was db_local.php.skel, but updating the password there didn't help. Any idea as to what went wrong here and where I can update the password? Thanks!
Bad permissions in MySQL DB? The only username I see in this file is the "ispconfig" user with permissions on the dbispconfig database. In my MySQL database this user does not have permissions to create new databases. Maybe the permissions in my MySQL DB is wrong?
