  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question PHP throws error when connecting to MySQL: access denied

Arman5592

New Pleskian
Hi,
I am using a webhost in order to keep track of some user information (just a test at this point) using MySQL and PHP. I have created a (actually several) user in order to connect to my database, and this entire process used to worked fine until a few weeks ago, but now I encounter PHP Error 1045 : Access denied when I use the users username/password to connect to the database.
At first I was told this was because my user's password was too weak and plesk "wouldn't register it because of that" (which I did not accept) but it gives the same error when I use a password marked as "very strong".
I do not understand why I can't connect to my database, I've tried creating new databases, users, etc, but nothing seems to work and I keep getting the same 1045: Access denied error.

Thanks in advance.
