MySQL "hack" results in troubles...

Currently the script "manually" updates the mysql authentication tables using a UPDATE mysql.user query. This is an easy way to set the proper password for the mysql users, but it also brings trouble to the Plesk interface. The link "DB WebAdmin" in the Plesk panel no longer functions and it is not possible to update user passwords using the MySQL interface.

The customer can however delete the user and recreate it. Then all issues are resolved.

Possible solution is to look for mysql login details and try the combinations. This however requires remote mysql access to the source server (which DA has disabled by default) and it also might cause MySQL to block our user/IP..

So for now, no solution..

Possible solution is to search for files containing "config", and include those in something that runs get_defined_vars(). But this is tricky if we're concerned about security because we dont know what code we are executing.
