    Default Changed account username and now databases locked

    I changed the username on one of my accounts and now all the databases associated to this account are "in use". They cannot be modified or deleted. How can I delete them?

    I went into phpMyAdmin and set the privileges of the database to the new username and root but I still cannot edit or delete the databases or any tables within.

    If I try delete a table or the database itself I get "#1051 - Unknown table 'categories' ". IF I am deleting the database it loops through all the tables.

    If I try to edit any table within the database I get "#1030 - Got error 1 from storage engine"

    WHM version 11.15.0
    cPanel version 11.18.3

    Can anyone point me in the right direction to delete these databases?

    I would try the following:
    1. Login to the server through ssh
    2. Stop the database
    3. Open the mysql client (issue the command mysql )
    4. Connect to the database you want to drop (connect dbname )
    5. Drop one by one every table ( drop table tblname )
    6. check which one causes the problem and report us back the exact error message.

    THanks for your reply.

    How do I stop a specific database? I know how stop mysql but of course if I did that I wouldn't be able to access the mysql command.
