• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Since I upraded to 7.6, Wordpress no longer communicates with MySQL. I can connect to the database using MySQL admin utility using the same username and password that I have in the config file, but wordpress says:

Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host's database server is down.

* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?
 
This might have something to do with the changed security model/hash used in the newer releases of MySQL. I have run into problems like this before with stand alone MySQL installs. I could never find a usable solution and had to use an older version.
 
I upgraded to MySQL 5.0 in hopes of it helping, but it didn't, so you may be on the right track.
 
Is anyone else using a current version of MySQL with Wordpress?
