mai minh	Saturday 11 February 2006 3:12:24 am Hi, I've just changed the database password. So I changed in the settings/site.ini. But now I cannot login to the admin. It said that: kernel (50) No database connection could be made, the system might not behave properly. Please help me. Thanks

Look at http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/concepts_and_basics/configuration and subpages.) In this case change the settings in settings/siteaccess/<your_siteaccess>/site.ini.append.php. You need to change the password for all used siteaccess, e.g. plain and plain_admin. Have a nice day Thomas

Hi,

I've just changed the database password. So I changed in the settings/site.ini.

But now I cannot login to the admin. It said that:

kernel (50)
No database connection could be made, the system might not behave properly.

Please help me.

Thanks
