I know this has been discussed more than once, still the offered solutions and my intelligence don't help past the following message: Code: DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED! Unable to connect to the database! Please contact your server-administrator. I am the server administrator. I'm in the process of setting up a virtual server running CentOS 7.5 (I believe, or it's 7.4) and followed the tutorial for CentOS 7.4 to the letter. Yet, roundcube refuses to work. I tried several things: I got into the database with myphpadmin, found the user, found that it hadn't been granted write access, so I gave those. Yet the same error message. I also found that the password was written witholut encryption in the database, so I put it in again with the aprropriate mysql command, and now it's encrypted. But still roundcube doesn't want to do the installation properly. There it always tells me: Code: "DSN (write): NOT OK(SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'roundcubeuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES))" Any help will be appreciated.
if it says access denied, something is wrong. I have trust in the code responsible for that check that the user exists check the password is defnitly correct set and used for login check the user is allowed to authenticate from/to the correct hosts, this can be 127.0.0.1,localhost,% ... see docs for more. check you use the allowed hostname ( %, localhost ... ) to test your connection $mysql -uuser -p -h localhost dbname check the explicit user ( username@host ) used has access to the database try on mysql console FLUSH PRIVILEGES; or restart db server. still doesn't work?
Me too (not being responsible for that, but having trust). You're doing a great job here. Restarting db server did the trick. Why didn't I think of it earlier???
