Howdy -- it seems to have a different password for the database account, it may have gotten out of sync somehow.

If you go into Edit Virtual Server -> Configurable settings, is the Administration password there set correctly?

Hi, yes the password is set correctly, with the password present in Configurable settings user is able to login in phpmyadmin and we can login from shell to mysql. Plus, I have re-set the password but the problem is still present, and only with Joomla. For example in the same Virtual Server we can install, via Virtualmin Install script, Wordpress, Maganeto, Drupal without problem.

We've all been a bit stuck as to what the problem is, that's a strange one!

Jamie did have one thought though -- if you go into Webmin -> Servers -> MySQL Database -> Module Config, change "Use MYSQL_PWD variable to pass password? "to "No", and then hit "Save".

After that, see if you're then able to setup Joomla.
