Woordpress site just stopped working after I changed thepassword in wp-config.php. I changed the password via PHPMyAdmin too and yes, I MD5ed it.Now I get Error establishing a database connection when I go to the site and apach2/error.log has this in it.

Any ideas? Thanks folks. Simon.
MySQL passwords are not encrypted with md5, they are encrypted with the "password" function of MySQL.
The mysql user is encrypted with "Native MySQL authentication" whiich I think is the right one. The user in the wp-users table is the one done with MD5 which is what the wordpress instructions said to use. However, I've just redone that with the PASSWORD function and it's made no difference.
Ok, then there was a misunderstanding. Using password for mysql and md5 for the wp admin user is fine. The ssl error is not an error of mysql or wp users, I guess you might have missed to install the intermediate / bundle ssl certificate for the ssl cert that you use in that website.
"install the intermediate / bundle ssl certificate for the ssl cert that you use in that website.". You're probably right. Which leads to the obvious question... how do I do that? Is it a section in "Perfect Server" that I missed somehow?
