I rented a host with Cpanel service.
But the company I created them from has put an inappropriate username for Cpanel.
I want to change the username.
Thank you for helping me.
As you mentioned, I think you use Cpanel users to host your website.
you can not change your username with user accessibility.
So you have to ask your hosting provider to do it for you but keep it in your mind that changing the username of Cpanel has some consequences. as your database will not work anymore.
At the moment you change the username of any cPanel account automatically all the things related to the username will be messed up. As we all know the WordPress database, MySQL Database has a default prefix username which is generated at the time of creating a database.
So I will recommend that if you are using a MySQL database in your website then MySQL configuration should also be changed to the new account username accordingly and everywhere the things get changed.

Please guys help me, I want prevent my old developer from access to my VPS,WHM and cPanel what I should do. I don't want to lose my work.
I saw there is password for Virtuozzo Power Panel, WHM and cPanel there is my thing i need to change it.
like how I know if he have SSH access or not. or any recovery can he recover the passwords
If you have given Password, SSH and FTP access to your developer you can consider doing the following:
Change your WHM's root password
Change all of your cPanel accounts' passwords (or those that your
developer had access to, if he had access to the whole WHM - you
might want to change all passwords)
Make sure there aren't any authorized SSH keys for the root user.
This can be seen through WHM's interface, docs here
Make sure there aren't any authized SSH keys for any cPanel user as
well. This can be done through each cPanel account's SSH Access
tool
Check all cPanel accounts for unauthorized FTP accounts.
You can also take a look at the cron jobs that are running as well.
Ultimatively you should also consider looking for any backdoors that
might be present in the scripts that your developer was working on.
I checked with my server if they could restore a full backup that I performed in another server, they told I should configure the FTP to use SSH, I did that, uploaded the file, they've restored everything, but as soon as I tried to change the cPanel password, I couldn't, I wasn't being able to login after the logout too.
So I talked to them and they had no idea of what happened. It's a brand new hosting account and the password was changed right after the restoration, and nobody knows who have changed it, so could it be the previous password from the old server that came with the full backup? I couldn't check that cause I asked them to reset the server password.
I just installed ssms on my local computer.
When I try to create a database or a database table it gives me an error stating that I don't have the right permissions. I tried granting permissions for this user by going to Security->Logins->myUser. But again it told me I didn't have the right permissions. I then tried adding a new login/user which gave me the same error.
What can I do to give myself the correct permissions if I installed the ssms and there are no other users except sa, which has "login with this user" disabled by default. I can't login as another user and I can't change my current user permissions. VERY CONFUSED - someone please help!
During the installation you (or somebody else) had to add an user besides the SA to login with Windows authentication. Use this user.
Your user is a simple user that does not have enough permissions.
If you are not the guy who installed the server, ask whoever installed this to set the right permission for your user.

You should check that you are placing the files in a folder where the SQL Server account (not the one you are logging on as, but the service account) has rights to write.
For starters, and not to be kept in a production environment, try to make sure that the default path for placing the database files has Read/Write set to Everyone.
I am unable to get access to my Drupal 7 website as I migrate it from my dev to prod servers.
The steps I followed are :
Take a SQL dump of the database
Upload Drupal site into the www/ folder available online
Create database on website with the same name
Import the SQL dump of the dev database and recreate the tables on the live database.
Make changes to settings.php as applies
Now I am not sure what changes to settings.php as applies indicates. However, when I try and access my site at say examplesite.com , I am shown SQLSTATE[280000] Access denied for user 'siteadmin#localhost' using password: YES
siteadmin#localhost is the same guy who acts as administrator on my development website and has the same password.
SO I am not sure why the same login credentials do not work for my dev site.
I also tried the credentials I have to access the control panel of my website but they do not seem to work either
Am I missing a trick here guys?
Thanks!
Recheck your settings.php twice
If correct, check if you can have a direct access your database with these credentials (via command line or phpmyadmin for example)
I tried out this guide from the Openfire documentation but none of my changes seem to have been applied. I can't login as any of the user from my custom database even if I set user names as admin. Do I need to manually apply all the changes to the system properties stored in the database (Openfire's ofProperty table)?
I'd also like to know if there's a way to prevent or customize which tables Openfire will add to my database.
Here's what I did to setup external database (in my case MySQL):
Assuming that you have a running Openfire instance, you should stop the server and edit the openfire.xml
Just add <setup>false</setup> so next time you open the web interface you will be directed to the setup page which will allow you to select and setup your database server.
From Openfire install directory copy the SQL query from /resources/database (choose the one for your specific database, in my case I used openfire_mysql.sql)
Of course you need to setup privileges.
From there I just followed the wizard and put the information in the input fields when setting up the database, like IP address, username and password that I have setup in the privileges in phpMyAdmin. Everything should be up and running within minutes.
In case you get error when setting up the database from the web interface, try to check if your database server MySQL port is open, its 3306. Do some sudo iptables if its not.
Hope this helps.
