Hi Everyone,
I desperately need help. I did something and really messed up my administrative abilities.
I am logged in to virtualmin as root, but if I try to access things like “Edit Users”, I always get the same error.
DBI connect failed : Access denied for user ‘comtoistech’@‘localhost’ to database ‘mysql’
I tried the suggestions on other topics for resetting passwords via the terminal but nothing has fixed the issue.
What I don’t understand is that I can log into phpmyadmin as the user “comtoistech” without a problem, and my website seems to be working ok, mostly.
If I am logged in as root, why is it telling me it can not access mysql as comtoistech@localhost.
I think this may have started when I was changing some user names to reflect the new domain, and I may have removed one under the old name, but can’t be certain.
I read somewhere that you can just add the user under localhost but I can’t find anywhere to do that, and if I try to access anything under Webmin for Mysql, like user permissions, database permissions, or host permissions, I get the same error.
Can anyone help me? Pleeease!
Paul
