Problem with mysql password ER_ACCESS_DENIED_ERROR: Access denied for user 'login'@'host' (using password: YES)

[pap]

Hello, i had a working ghost blog site but had to change my mysql database password
i have created new password and changed it in the config file in:
mysite/versions/1.24.6/core/server/config/env

i also did run a ghost restart thru ssh but when i try to change something in the general settings of the ghost blog i get the error:
ER_ACCESS_DENIED_ERROR: Access denied for user ‘login’@‘host’ (using password: YES)

(ofcourse with my login and host changed)

Check if you granted all priviledges on the ghost database to the new user, i.e.:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO 'username'@'localhost';

turns out the GHOST RESTART command was not going thru due to:

Process manager ‘systemd’ will not run on this system, defaulting to ‘local’
