    Full error in error logs:

    Basically it looks like an incorrect database password, however here’s the real problem....

    I manually update the database in phpMyAdmin, and update it in ModX as well. No matter how many times I do it, it dopes not seem to update in modX, so when I update the config file in ModX with the old password, it works again.

    I have double checked that I am on the correct server, connecting to the correct database.

    Any ideas here ?

      You’ll likely need to reload privileges or restart the db server after changing the user credentials, depending on the server configuration.

        My answer: reinstall modx
