Roundcube "database error: connection failed!"

Remitur
I have a single user that, trying to access Roundcube, get following error: DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED! Unable to connect to the database! Please contact your server-administrator. It's a single user to get it:
  • for any other user on the server (on different domains,or even of the same domain) Roundcube works fine
  • the user who get this error on Roundcube can work without issues on Horde or Squirrelmail
Any idea? !?! :(

    Hello, Have you tried to reset the user's password for the email account. You can do this in cPanel >> Email >> Email Accounts. Choose the account, then set a new password from the Password and Authentication under Actions

    Same issue here, single user (the cPanel has over 100 email addresses) with these issues. Tried the commands you have put above and I get this as a result: [root@backup ~]# /scripts/restartsrv_cpanel_php_fpm (XID fy392j) The "cpanel_php_fpm" service is disabled.

    HI @cPanelLauren I'm sorry but I guess I cannot do that since my VPS cPanel licence was provided by Contabo hosting services.

    Hi @blacklotuss We do recommend you contact your provider first but if they're unable to assist you, you can definitely still open a ticket with us. Thanks!

    That was extremely simple and very helpful - saved my day thanks!
