Manually changing the passwords of the database 12 Years, 8 Months ago Karma: 0
I had to migrate from server and, for safety reasons, i need to change the passwords from the database.

What files do I have to change in jms?

The DB password are stored in the joomla "configuration.php" file.

When you create a slave site from another website, you can also use the JMS "manage site" to force a "new DB password".

So either edit the "configuration.php" file of each slave site manually to update the MySQL password or use the JMS "manage site" to setup a "new DB password" (when available).

Yes, I've done that, I changed all configurations.php, but the slave database did not work.

I realized that, even the configuration.php files are with the new passwords, jms / tools show the old password to master_db and no show password of the websites.

What can be?

If the JMS tool display the "old password" this mean that you didn't change the correct "configuration.php" file.

When you deploy a slave site into a specific directory, this "configuration.php" file is located in this "deployed directory".
Otherwise, it is located in the /multsites/xxxx directory where xxxx is the site ID.

So verify the location of the "configuration.php" file that you are modifying.
To help you, change also the title present in the "configuration.php" to verify that you are modifying the correct file.
