MyBB Community Forums

Currently self hosting my forum so I don’t have access to cPanel but I’m getting error code 1045 - does anyone know where to find the password to a MySQL database?

You can find it inside inc/config.php file, where are you hosting your forums ?

A 1045 error indicates that your access was denied. It may or may not be because of your password.

Well, looking up how to fix error code 1045 said that the code inside of the config.php file must of been incorrect, so I changed the database password in there to my root password but still getting the same error.

It makes sense that the password would be incorrect since I just downloaded a .zip of my mybb database and files from my old web host to put in on my local server.

Should I possibly delete config.php and mybb will recreate the file, or is there somewhere else to find the database password?

edit: I’m hosting off of Microsoft Azure virtual machine running CentOS 7 with Apache2

Ok; a) what's the URL of your website, and what's the exact error you're getting. 1045 isn't very helpful.

b) if you're still getting a wrong password error, something's broken.

a - The current URL is http://13.82.53.126/mybb/ you can see the error code there.

b - I don’t know what you mean by plimewood error.

Looks like it’s fixed; I’m now getting a no permission error; as to plimewood - looks like “password” got caught in the filter, again.

Here’s a novel thought - how about instead of clickbaiting him, you actually tell him.
