Hi ya Ive been try to change my mysql user and password. I have set a new user up fine but when i change the _config.php to the new credentials I get a error..

First off I copy'd the database to a new name and created a new user with full priv's to access this new database..
changing the _config.php file and hitting db/build?flush=1 cause 20 odd tables to be created, and loosing all mycontent. the db is a exact cp. untill SS updates the tables and makes some more blank tables and not using the original ones. the making of the new 20 odd table could be a red herring as it blog tables mainly that are created..

Ive also tried to change just the user and pass to the old DB I get a SS error page and are unable to access the site..

if anyone knows the correct procedure for this please shed some light on it..

thanks

Just in order to help people having the same problem as me - in silverstripe 3.0 the database user and password is in the file _ss_environment.php, the database in mysite/_config.php.
Have fun!
