    Hello,

    We're making some changes on our server and we would like to change the password for our mysql database (the one used for aMember). Where/how can I make that change?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    A) To change the mysql password, you need to connect to the mysql as a mysql user and change it with respective privilages to change it. This cannot be done from within the amember.

    B) However, if you meant to change the connection parameteres of mysql database where amember connects to the mysql database, then this is different. This you can find it in the file config.inc.php. In this file, you need to enter the parameters i.e. those connection details to the database you wanna use.
