[Koha] Changing Koha Master Password

[Andrew Seguin]

Hello Michael,

 

Although rather new to Koha myself, I have understood that the "master" Koha
user is none other then the user (& password) with witch Koha connects to MySQL.

 

If you want to change it, you should change it both in the configuration file,
and then in mysql (for example " SET PASSWORD FOR 'user'@'hostname' =
PASSWORD('passwordhere'); ");

 

Hope that helps,

Andrew

My IT person is trying to set up Koha 2.2.8 for Windows on Windows XP SP2.  The
installation of Koha and Apache, MySQL, etc. looks good and Koha comes up just
fine.  My question is: How to you change the master koha login/password
combination from koha, koha?  He found the file with the login=koha and
password=koha but we were unable to change them.  After the changed file was
saved, when we tried to log in, we got server errors.  Any ideas?
