** This thread discusses the Content article:
Mythweb database password **
After running my MythTV out of diskspace, my MySql database wouldn't start. I ran the MythTV setup twice, and it wiped out the MySql connection info. I didn't remember what I had previously set the password to so I logged into phpmyadmin and changed it. After making some free disk space, the database fired right up and I was back to watching MthTV. What I didn't realize was that the password lives in a few places, not just the front-end config. A day or two later I tried to hit Mythweb and found it was unable to connect to the database. It was showing the followig message:
Database Access Denied
You are most likely receiving this message because you
have failed to configure mythweb's database login info.
Please see INSTALL for instructions.

It took some digging but I managed to find three places where the password was stored (aside from the front-end setup thing).
- /etc/mythtv/mythweb-htaccess
- /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
- /etc/apache2/sites-available/mythweb.conf
- /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/mythweb.conf.apache
Still working on this one without success!! Aaargh!
So there you have it. If you ever have to change the mysql database password, be sure to also change it in these three files or Mythweb will remain pooched.
