Database Username, PW Lost
Oct 21, 2008
I am trying to change to a different server within the same webhosting company and they have asked me for the username and password of the SQL database I have in my site. Call me stupid, but I have lost this and now I am wondering what I can do.
Since I can log into the cpanel etc I can very well make a copy of the database etc., if that helps. Is there somewhere I should look in the files and folders where the username password info may be store in? I seem to recall reading somewhere that is the case. Any info appreciated.
The reason the host needs this info is because the new server doesnt use cpanel, it uses something called plesk. So if all fails, I am thinking, I just move to a different host who uses cpanel, that way I dont need the UN/PW? Seems a rather silly thing to do, but I have t consider all alternatives now.

my site is down for 2 days. this started 2 weeks ago when the vps started to work very bad and my site has been down more time than up. they closed the topic: "horrible experience with liquidweb" [url] but I still have not a solution and now somebody accidentally I suppose, deleted the database.
I cant do nothing and my last backup i have here is from +1month ago..
in cpanel I see: "sql disk usage": 120 mb but in databases zone it doesnt appear and phpmyadmin access is denied.

I am trying to install Joomla on httpme.com but I seem to have problems with it recognising the username/password. Could it be a localhost issue or something?
I just can't seem to get a solution to this. I am referring to step 1 of the Joomla installation.

I have 2 domain names with 2 usernames setup on WHM:
domain1.com - domain1
domain2.com - domain2
I would like domain2.com website visitors to upload photos to a domain1 path. Unfortunately I can't, I think the problem is with the usernames and the fact that the path where I would like to add the photos belongs to domain1 user. The chmod is 777.
How can I set this up on WHM so domain2.com visitors can upload photos to a domain1 username path?

I'm moving some accounts from another provider wich don't allow users to make his owns backups, so I'm doing manually from the cpanel. The file I get it's something like username-date.tar.gz
The problem it's when I try to restore it in my server, I get "not user files found" because the .tar.gz file it's like
and inside the folders
And it looks like to have the restore working have to be:
/username
/and inside the folders
So, the solution I have for the moment it's to 1) create the account in the new server 2) restore it login in the cpanel

Is it possible to pass the username and password info to a Cpanel login, so that typing it in will let the user log in to his Cpanel without having him to type it manually?
This is for a demo and I'd like the client to see the inside without having to type anything in.
I tried this but it didn't work:
[url]

We have a cPanel/WHM server and our users log into their e-mail accounts using this format:
emailprefix+theirdomain.com
Our server is running exim. One of my users wants to be able to use an "@" symbol for his e-mail username instead of a "+" sign. Is it possible to change this? If so, is it possible to change it for just this one user? I don't want to change it for everyone who uses the mail service.

I am unable to create a user in mysql with 20 characters length. I am getting the annoying error message about 16 characters limitation about a username length. I have tried to increase the character user limit length to 32 characters using the following commands:
mysql -uroot -p
use mysql;
alter table `user` modify `User` CHAR(32);
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit
service mysqld restart
But after all of this was done I was and I am still unable to connect to mysql anymore with/without password.

I've searched the forum but not found the solution and I'm sure it's probably very simple.
How do I disable users from accessing their accounts via the [url]~username method?
On an apache server running cpanel.

I have been trying to get password protected directories working on my Linode server. It works / behaves in a desktop browser somewhat but not like I am used to with hostmonster. Also for some reason my phone (windows phone just loads the page in the protected directory without prompting for a password. So I imagine there is some security thing I am missing that none of the info I have found searching talks about. Here is what I have done. I have created a password file and set the permissions correctly on that and it works on the desktop. However when I close the browser or open a private browsing session I am never prompted for a password again. It just feels insecure. Plus my windows phone just loads the page with no prompt. With hostmonster if I closed the browser window it would ask me for the username and password again. I also tested hostmonster directory passwords on my phone and it prompts for a username/password.
Here is what I have added to the apache2.conf file. The rest is pretty much default. There is no .htaccess file for that directory.
<Directory "/var/www/protected">
AllowOverride All
AuthType basic
AuthName "Enter Login"
AuthUserFile /etc/htpasswd/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
Order deny,allow
Allow from user1
</Directory>
It may be worth noting that I have two virtual sites / domain names running on this server at the moment however the one that is being used for this is the primary domain name.
OS: Debian 7.3
Apache 2.2.22

I am now encountered the problem, in which a user wanted to create an FTP account that is already in use by another user.
Is there a kind of template / mask in which you can optionally specify the user name style.
If the user is set up, but it creates the system user name, you could not let this might Automatically set before that?
