Configuration.php New Password Issue - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

-

hi there,

my website hacked unable log front or backend , users had username changed "admin"
after reading through lots of information on forum , thankfully having recent backup have managed , running again exception of issue i'm facing regarding configuration.php file

from can gather, after being hacked advisable change following , ensure date:-

cpanel login details - done!
ftp login details - done!
super user login details - done!
database password details - fail :(


i have tried 2 ways of changing database password both presenting issues unfortunately :(


1. have logged cpanel, changed password database user, edited configuration.php file add new password details

2. have logged cpanel, created new database user, assigned new user database, ensured new user has correct permissions edited configuration.php file add details of new database username , new database password

public $host = 'localhost';
public $user = 'here added database username';
public $password = ‘here added database password;
public $db = 'here added database name';


both of above result in either blank white page showing error messages site can't connect database (which in turn means can't access front or backend) or i'm greeted blank white page , no error messages


all research i've done has shown posts stating once change database password or add new user / password need edit configuration.php file update details.....so i'm little puzzled why doesn't seem working me :(


i have restored database / user details again site running @ moment, piece of mind change password database working password shown in configuration.php file not 1 ever recall choosing! lol

my configuration.php file has permission of "0600" believe correct according research......could problem need change file permission when editing file , change 0600 once edit complete?

any advise appreciated :)

cheers

scott

ps...im using current version of joomla , website address http://www.igetcha69.com

believe need change password using phpmyadmin, scroll down, method 2.
