Hi Cass

go to WHM and scroll down to MYSQL menu

click on Reset Mysql Root Password - set the new password

thats it and u will be ok with the root access to mysql
best regards

I've already changed the pass ... with this and manually too...
but nothing ...
I can access Mysql without problems manually...

BUT... not from phpmyadmin or cpanel...
I get this on phpmyadmin:
Wrong username/password. Access denied.

I get this on cpanel homepage (where the sql db number goes):
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) 0

some other thing is that all my users home is set to
/home/username/mail/username now ... when it was /home/username

I think this is for the imap ? ... dunno...
BUT... when I ADD a subdomain for example ... the apache config is WRONG cause it sets to :
/home/username/mail/username/public_html/subdomain

so.. I think they make big mistakes on build 51 ... and I make a big mistake updating to it ... hehe.

waiting for the new BUG FREE version ... PLEASE!!

Regards.

Damn... I get what it this ...
when I installed build 51 ... ALL MY /etc/passwd fucked up... it adds /mail/username to all... then to root too...
so maybe the scripts was trying to read
/root/mail/root/.my.cnf

Anyway... I replaced existing /etc/passwd with the one named /etc/passwd.precpanel that was just pre-last update... and all goes normal

bad bad ....
It was something in the update sure, maybe this is needed by imap? dunno really.

anyway... is this is the case... I hope to see the &option& for imap, not the forced one... can I opt out? lol

regards.

Check for someone's homedir being linked to /. I'll update the script to resolve symlinks, but if this is the case other bad things will happen in the future anyways so fixing the problem now would be a good idea (tm).

My /etc/passwd was like this after the update... do you know why?
root:x:0:0:root:/root/mail/root:/bin/bash
bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin/mail/bin:/sbin/nologin
daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin/mail/daemon:/sbin/nologin
adm:x:3:4:adm:/var/adm/mail/adm:/sbin/nologin
lp:x:4:7:lp:/var/spool/lpd/mail/lp:/sbin/nologin
sync:x:5:0:sync:/sbin/mail/sync:/bin/sync
shutdown:x:6:0:shutdown:/sbin/mail/shutdown:/sbin/shutdown
halt:x:7:0:halt:/sbin/mail/halt:/sbin/halt
mail:x:8:12:mail:/var/spool/mail/mail/mail:/sbin/nologin
news:x:9:13:news:/var/spool/news/mail/news:
uucp:x:10:14:uucp:/var/spool/uucp/mail/uucp:/sbin/nologin
operator:x:11:0perator:/root/mail/operator:/sbin/nologin
games:x:12:100:games:/usr/games/mail/games:/sbin/nologin
gopher:x:13:30:gopher:/var/gopher/mail/gopher:/sbin/nologin
ftp:x:14:50:FTP User:/var/ftp/mail/ftp:/sbin/nologin
nobody:x:99:99:Nobody://mail/nobody:/sbin/nologin
vcsa:x:69:69:virtual console memory owner:/dev/mail/vcsa:/sbin/nologin
mailnull:x:47:47::/var/spool/mqueue/mail/mailnull:/dev/null
rpm:x:37:37::/var/lib/rpm/mail/rpm:/bin/bash
...etc

so the &/mail/username& was added to all users...
I just deleted ALL the /mail/username to get
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/sbin/nologin
...etc.

is this right? ... or I need to use that /mail/user thing in the home?
I'm still asking ... was the script wich do this change right?

Regards.

[EDIT]
oh, if this symlinks things is a possible security problem or somehing ... better leave it as is ... to not resolve symlinks I mean. Regards.
