All problems fixed!  The plugins recommendation resolved the remaining issues.

[Can't Change Database User / PWRD]

@andrewatfornax

I inadvertently got around the problem which gave birth to a whack of new problems.

1. I reverted to the original username and password.

2. I performed an updated based on this configuration (I worked via a separate install and database as to not overwrite what I already had).

The upgrade worked.  After that, I was able to change the username and password for the database.  I may have cleared most of the cache directory as well thinking that there could be a remnant there looking for the original directory location - I don't remember for sure.

Now the new problem is even though banners are being served and I can get into the admin page, all the plugins aren't working as though they haven't been found / installed (though they are listed as active).

I'm debating doing a fresh install, copying the image files over, and pointing to the original updated database.  Any ideas?

I'm having a strange problem with Revive server.  All I want to do is change the MYSQL username and password, and as soon as I do (in the Revive config file for the site), everything breaks.  In the banner location, it says it can't find the configuration file.  In the back-end, I get a page full of parsing errors instead of the admin page.

The strange thing is if the MYSQL username and password is reverted - even if it doesn't exist as an authorized username in mysql - Revive half works with banners showing up - but I can't get into the back-end.  The only way I can get back to normal is reverting the full username and password to the original.

Is part of the password reset in the database tables or is it 100% in the config file?

I'm currently running 4.0 on Windows Server 2012 (IIS 8).  PHP 5.6, MYSQL 5.7,18

If I do a fresh install of 4.02 it works as a fresh install, but I'm incapable of upgrading from my existing material.  it won't communicate with the database, etc.

Here is a sample of the error (minus back-end directories) when I'm changing the password.

205 {

There are tonnes of errors on the page; this is just the first one.
