Please help: I'm not a tech and need some help please. My website works fine reading and writing to the databases but when I sign on via Cpanel it tells me there are no databases. I sign onto the server at the root and it tells me that that user has no databases as well. The website is reading from and writing to something! How can this be happening? I did recently change passwords for this user account. Could that be related? Apache Fedora 7 Thanks for any help.
What are the database names? Cpanel will only recognize a database that has the accountname as the prefix, and it usually needs to be created in cpanel. Mysql can be managed from outside cpanel, so not all databases will be visible through cpanel'sdb interface. The setup you have now will work fine, but it will be difficult to mange via cpanel. Best bet is probably to create a new database in your cpanel account, use a name that is noticeably different from the existing DB name. Then backup your existing db and upload it into the one you just created.
