    [Forum] Changing DB Password

    I changed my forum DB PW and updated it in the config.php file. Now the site is not able to access the DB. Is there somewhere else this needs to be updated?

    Or, is it possible to use a PW that is invalid (special character limits, too long, etc.)?

    Thanks

    If you're sure the password is correct in the config.php file, you need to contact your hosting provider about support for this.

    MySQL Usernames can be 16 characters long.
    MySQL Passwords can be 41 characters long.
