Hi,

I was trying to assign a new user in MySQL for pydio purposes.  
I have changed the configuration in data/plugins/boot.conf/bootstrap.json.

First I got this error:  
You may have switch to an SQL-based plugin without defining a connexion

Then i cleaned cache and now i have Pydio saying “Dibi is not connected to database”

I am baffled on the fact this is a problem.  
What can i do to make it working again with whatever user.

Thx

Hi,  
you can find the sql configuration inside `bootstrap.json` file located in `/var/www/pydio/data/plugins/boot.conf/`  
there is also a `bootstrap.json.bak` incase.

Well, that’s the thing. It stopped working when i edited this file you mentioned. And even if I revert back to previously working password, i get Dibi…

Hi,  
try to clear the pydio cache, `rm -rf /var/www/pydio/data/cache/plugins_*` just to be sure about the issue, clear your browsers cache also.
