MySQL password change

Posted by dsun on July 21, 2014 at 19:32

A quick question about MySQL account password changes.

There is the user account pandora in MySQL with the default password as shown in the /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf file. I can change the password in MySQL using the following command in MySQL:

update user set password=PASSWORD(“newpass”) where User=’ENTER-USER-NAME-HERE’;

After that, I update the password in the /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf file. However, after doing both of those steps, Pandora stops working- when I refresh the browser, the page doesn’t come up. When I change the password back, things resume fine.

Am I missing a step somewhere on this?

Thanks.

Hello

You need to change the password setting in the following file as well:

/var/www/html/pandora_console/include/config.php

Thanks thank worked! May I suggest that the documentation be updated with this? In all the documentation I read, I only saw the reference to the /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf file. Maybe I missed it but I did read a lot before asking here.
