Grid-iron stack

Ok, I know, this stack is a bit old in the tooth, but I still use it. I am currently having a bit of a problem however.

I’m using Chillidog’s forms-plus v2.5.0 stack to export incoming emails to a MySQL database table, and their Grid-Iron stack to import that data to a CSV file, fully automated and all in the background. I’ve done this before and had no problems. However…..

While I can see the results within the Rapidweaver window, using a web browser errors out with a "SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user ‘u574521097_mail’@‘82.197.82.72’ (using password: YES)”.

All credentials are correct, I can’t see anything problematic in the backend, my privileges are set correctly, my web host cannot offer any additional help, and I have contacted Chillidog, but they have yet to respond, assuming they are still in business.

So, while old and dusty, I am hoping that someone may have an idea why I’m being denied the connection.

Found the culprit. Seems that MySQL remote cannot use many special characters for passwords, even though establishing a database automatically has one appointed for you. Only needed to change passwords, leaving out the special ones. Working!
