Freepbxuser unable to connect to asteriskcdrdb

Just in case anyone else has this problem…
After a new install using the FreePBX Schmooze ISO (which I think is great by the way) noticed that the CDR Reports page was blank and saw the message:

“Cannot connect to database server localhost: (1045) Access denied for user ‘freepbxuser’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)”

I was able to resolve the problem by correcting the password for freepbxuser found in /etc/asterisk/cdr_mysql.conf

You can compare the password to /etc/freepbx.conf

this solved the problem

after i did a restore into a new install. cdr reports was not working.
but after getting the password from the file /etc/freepbx.conf,
and replaced the password in the file cdr_mysql.conf, with the password from freepbx.conf and doing a amportal reload. it is registering again the calls
thanks…

very helpful! Thanks.

Thanks

I just ran into this issue on a brand new system, although it was a clone of a hard drive from another brand new system.
