We've seen this happen a few times, too.

The database user is just "gone"... and the database stops working.

The account owner must then go into cpanel, recreate the database user, and then add the "new" database user to the database.

Then the database works again.

It is very annoying, but does not happen often and we have never been able to find out why it happens.

Just another cpanel bug, I guess. :rolleyes:

On us servers database was not gone, only user added to database (one user for 1-2 weeks gone) and user must go to cPanel and add new user and add user do db.

I speak with couple firms that have hosting on cPanel and all of them have the same problem... :eek:
