I've upgraded to j 3.3.1 and after that moved my site from localhost to production server. As usual I wanted to change fabrik db connection details. I changed it (there were no error message) but after that I've noticed that fabrik is unable to connect to db. I checked db fabrik_connections table and as far as I can see the password is not changing at all after trying to change it in fabrik administration (joomla). You can manually change it in db, but it is encrypted there and I do not know how to fill it correctly....

New Commercial Services Section
We have now opened a commercial services section here on the forum for registered users. If you have a Fabrik project that you wish to have someone work on for you, post it under Help Wanted. If you are an application developer and wish to earn some money helping others, post your details under Fabrik Application Developers.
Both of these are unmoderated. It will be up to both parties to work out the details and come to an agreement.

I can confirm this issue. As a workaround, I entered my unencrypted password manually into the database and changed the params to {"encryptedPw":true}. Note in my case I was copying my live site to a development area so this is probably not a good workaround for a production server.

Yes and no.
It's true to say you will have to manually change the new connection ID via phpmyadmin, probably from 2 to 1. I should have mentioned that though, the purpose of the suggestion is to establish if it's a problem creating new connections as well or if it's just modifying existing ones.
Somewhere in the back of my brain I think we may have had this issue before but I cannot recall if it was code or a server problem.
I will try and test this later seeing as two people have confirmed it.

I know Joomla has changed user password storage in 2.5.21 silently, modifying it by the first new login, it was breaking our external app access.
Maybe it's similar here or Fabrik is using the Joomla user password handling which won't fit for DB password.
