SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) -

Question

I am trying to import images using magmi. I am getting SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) - error.

I tried changing username and password for database.But I am unable to change, as I click save configuration they revert back to old one.

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

It may be due to different password given in app/etc/local.xml file, try to change this

Answer 2

Your Databank is not connecting. There might be 4 possibilities

1) Maybe your host is not "localhost" maybe it's different. I had same problem and i figured out hat my host is different. It was like this. [CDATA[mysql55.ssl-net.net]]

2) Maybe your username is wrong

3) Maybe you have entered wrong password

4) Maybe you have typed invalid database name ![CDATA[xxxx_xxxxxx]]

Please check all of them carefully, i am sure your problem will be solved!

Answer 3

Check your folder options, if you can not change "root" after save. Look into MAGMI WIKI for folder options set.

Answer 4

I removed my root password then got this error.

Removed it from /app/etc/local.xml and still got the error.

I had to remove the contents of /var/cache/ which fixed it.
