				Iv'e just upgraded to SME 7 from 6.01 and now I can't access the webmail. All I get is this error message:
 
 A fatal error has occurred
 DB Error: connect failed
 Details have been logged for the administrator.
 
 What can I do to fix this problem?

				Hi there,
 
 sorry, i might be on the wrong track, but, are you trying with https??
- 
				http should redirect to https
 
 Did you have any contribs installed on the SME6 machine ?
- 
				Hi William,
 
 I have noticed that on some systems it does and on some others is refuses to redirect to https...
 
 best regards

 Interesting.
 
 Out of the box I would say SME 7 should redirect.
 
 I just pulled my webmail apart just a little to see how it works..

 only to be told someone else had done it already.  :D  :oops:
- 
				http should redirect to https

 I have dungog.net's "Chroot FTP users", "FTP management", "EZMLM" that doesn't work anymore after the upgrade and "System Monitor".
 
 The HTTP redirect to HTTPS works fine!
- 
				Hehe, it's OK.
 
 It is peculiar, the behavior...I have 6/7 SME servers around and only a few behave consistently (in the same manner), an issue I discovered is with whitelisting (globally), some servers will act upon it and don't let in any or hardly any spam, and with others is just like there is no whitelist at all, but this is another story altogether...digressing here...
 
 regards again

 MySQL may of failed to start.
 
 Type mysql at root login.
 
 What do you get ?
- 
				William, here it is:
 
 mysql
 Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
 Your MySQL connection id is 708 to server version: 4.1.20
 
 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
 
 mysql>

				To whom am I speaking.... lol
 
 I'm sure yours is working bosco555.
 
 I'm not to sure about WEBlance.
- 
				sorry got confuzzled
			
- 
				If WEBlance has an error like
 ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
 
 he maybe wants to try
 service mysqld start
 
 I'm off to bed.
- 
				I get this error message:
 
 ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
- 
				And when I use 
 
 mysql -p
 
 and enter my password - the mysql works fine!

- 
				Yes.. your MySQL root user password appears to have been altered.
 
 
 Typing mysql should work without you entering a password.
- 
				If U didn`t resolved the problem here is a solutiont that worked for me:
 
 cd /var/lib
 chown mysql.root mysql
 chmod 755 mysql
 
 Hope this will help.
 For more information I am available.
