Hi Mohitgarg
If you changed the config file you will definitely need to clear cache. you can do this by delete the app/cache directories. Assuming all your other database connection details are valid and the database is populated with all the necessary mautic tables, things should be up and running.

There is a command for it:
```auto
php app/console cache:clear
```
or delete the app/cache folder.

I’m trying to find the file with the credentials, but can’t. Using 2.8.2. Anyone can tell the path on that version?
