How to fix horde DB connect failed error with cpanel

The easiest way to see whats wrong is see if horde is able to connect to mysql

cat /usr/local/cpanel/base/horde/config/conf.php | grep conf | grep sql

This should show what horde is using for mysql user and pass

Then run

mysql -h <host if remote> or localhost -u horde -p<password>

If you get an error of some kind, then you need log into mysql and run the following below

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO ‘horde’@’whatever host the error said or use localhost’ identified by ‘whatever password it said above’;

Example
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO ‘horde’@’localhost’ identified by ‘password’;

Next run

Mysql> flush privileges; <–at the mysql prompt

test your mysql connect again with the first step if it works try in a browser, it should work now.
