WHM 11.23.2 cPanel 11.23.6-S27698

I did a few days ago update mysql root pw in preparation for WHM 11.24.2 - X 3.9 after reading Eric Gregory CPanel alert "Important Notice about MySQL and Automated ProcessKillers with cPanel 11.24"

Help !!
tks

fixed - found the original mysql root pw and changed it back - Mailwatch working again

P

Usually MySQL errors like that are due to having non-alphanumeric characters in the mysql root password, and changing the mysql to something with ONLY letters and numbers, then reinstalling MSFE, will remedy that.
